An electron (mass= 9.10 x 10^(-31) kg, charge= -1.6×10^(-19) C) traveling with speed 2×10^6 m/s enters a region of space containing a uniform magnetic field of 2.0 T, as shown below. Note that the field extends infinitely far in the +x and -x directions (that is, it extends infinitely far in the left and right directions of the page). a) On the figure above, draw the path the electron will take in the magnetic field until it leaves the magnetic field. b) What is the time required for the electron to re-emerge into the field-free region? c) In the region of the magnetic field, a uniform electric field is applied in addition to the magnetic field so that the electron continues to move with speed 2×10^6 m/s along the +y direction (that it, it is undeflected by the fields). What is the strength and direction of this electric field?
