Question:

An electron enters the space between the plates of a charged parallel plate capacitor as shown in the figure. The charge density on the plate is σ. Electric intensity in the space between the plates is E. A uniform magnetic field B also exists in the space perpendicular to the direction of E. The electron moves perpendicular to both E and B without any change in direction. The time taken by the electron to travel a distance L in the space is
