A proton goes undeflected in a crossed electric and magnetic field (the fields are perpendicular to each other) at a speed of . The velocity is perpendicular to both the fields. When the electric field is switched off, the proton moves along a circle of radius . Find the magnitudes of the electric and the magnetic fields. Take the mass of the proton .

Important Questions on Magnetic Effect of Current
