Question

 If an electric field \[\vec{E}\] is also applied such that the particle continues moving along the original straight line path, what should be the magnitude and direction of the electric field \[\vec{E}\] ?

Solution

 The direction of the magnetic force is along negative Y-axis and so, the direction of electric force should be along the positive Y-axis to counter balance the magnetic force and charge particle will move in the straight line path.
Therefore, the direction of electric field is along the positive Y-axis and its magnitude is given by E = vB
