Per forum rules, you must post an attempt. Urgency is not an excuse, and failure to post an attempt straight away is only going to slow things down.
Yes, momentum conservation will be a good start, so write the appropriate equation. Any other conservation laws that might apply?
 

Thread 'Coulomb's force vs the Lorentz force'

Beams of electrons and protons move parallel to each other in the same direction. They ______. a. attract each other. b. repel each other. c. neither attract nor repel. d. the force of attraction or repulsion depends upon the speed of the beams. This is a previous-year-question of CBSE Board 2023. The answer key marks (b) as the right option. I want to know why we are ignoring Coulomb's force?
