In a certain region uniform electric field →E=−Eo^k and magnetic field →B=Bo^k are present. At time t=0 a particle of mass m and charge q is given a velocity →v=vo^j+vo^k.Find the minimum speed of the particle and the time when it happens so.

Solution
aE=qEom (along negative z-direction) Electric field will make z-component of velocity zero.At that time speed of the particle will be minimum and that minimum speed is the other component i.e., vo. This is minimum when: vz=uz+azi 0=vo−qEomt t=mvoqEo
