Electric field for undeflected motion

A beam in a AC generator prototype must pass straight through a \(0.36\,\text{T}\) magnetic field at speed \(7800\,\text{m s}^{-1}\). Calculate the electric field needed. Use the diagram labels before calculating the requested value. Enter the numerical result and choose the interpretation that matches the field physics.
