A charged particle moving along the +x-axis enters a uniform magnetic field pointing along the +z-axis. A uniform electric field is also present. Due to the combined effect of both fields, the particle does not change its velocity. What is the direction of the electric field?

the electric field direction should be in positive y axis

Explanation:

Lets assume that charge on particle is positive and it isequal to +q

First calculate the magnetic force on it

for direction

use Right Hand Rule which will give the direction and by using his the direction will come towards negative y axis.

As given in the question that charge particle does not change their velocity so we need to apply electric field in such a way that electric force direction should be opposite to the magnectic field.

and magnitude should be same as magnectic force and also direcion of electric force depend on the direction of elecric field when charge is positive because electric force

Hence the electric field direction should be in positive y axis

current and voltage can both be different in different parts of a circuit so it matters where you place the ammeter and voltmete
