An electron enters an electric field with intensity $\vec{E} = 3\hat{i} + 6\hat{j} + 2\hat{k} \text{ V m}^{-1}$ and a magnetic field with induction $\vec{B} = 2\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} \text{ T}$ with a velocity $\vec{v} = 2\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} \text{ m s}^{-1}$. The magnitude of the force acting on the electron is (Given, $e = -1.6 \times 10^{-19} \text{ C}$)

$A$ metal sample carrying a current along the $x-$ axis with current density $J$ is subjected to a magnetic field $B$ (along the $z-$ axis). The electric field $E$ developed along the $y-$ axis is directly proportional to $J$ as well as $B$. The constant of proportionality has the $SI$ unit:

What is the behavior of a charged particle moving in a region where the electric field $\vec{E}$ and magnetic field $\vec{B}$ are perpendicular to each other?

$A$ particle of mass $1 \times 10^{-26} \,kg$ and charge $1.6 \times 10^{-19} \,C$ travelling with a velocity $1.28 \times 10^6 \,ms^{-1}$ along the positive $X$-axis enters a region in which a uniform electric field $E$ and a uniform magnetic field of induction $B$ are present. If $E = -102.4 \times 10^3 \hat{k} \,NC^{-1}$ and $B = 8 \times 10^{-2} \hat{j} \,Wbm^{-2}$, the direction of motion of the particle is:
