$A$ stream of electrons and protons are directed towards a narrow slit in a screen (see figure). The intervening region has a uniform electric field $E$ (vertically downwards) and a uniform magnetic field $B$ (out of the plane of the figure) as shown. Then:

  • A
    electrons and protons with speed $\frac{|E|}{|B|}$ will pass through the slit
  • B
    protons with speed $|E| /|B|$ will pass through the slit, electrons of the same speed will not
  • C
    neither electrons nor protons will go through the slit irrespective of their speed
  • D
    electrons will always be deflected upwards irrespective of their speed
