4.11 Magnetic field strength, B = 6.5 G = 6.5 * 10 - 4 T

Speed of electron, v = 4.8 * 10 6 m/s

Charge of electron, e = 1.6 * 10 - 19 C

Mass of electron, m = 9.1 * 10 - 31 kg

Angle between the shot electron and the magnetic field, θ = 90 °

Magnetic force exerted on the electron in the magnetic field is given as:

F = evB sin ? θ

This force p
