A velocity selector is a device that uses both electric and magnetic fields to allow charged particles of a specific velocity to pass through while deflecting others. Particles are deflected by the magnetic field in a direction perpendicular to their velocity and the magnetic field, while the electric field exerts a force that can either counteract or enhance this deflection. The direction of deflection (upward or downward) depends on the charge of the particle and the orientation of the fields.

(Q). Can you please elaborate the concept of velocity selector


⇒ please explain who the particle are getting deflected by magnetic field and
electric field ? Why in upward and downward direction ?
