In Thomson mass spectrograph $\vec{E} \perp \vec{B}$ then the velocity of undeflected electron beam will be :In crossed electric and magnetic fields, the electric force eE and the magnetic force evB on the electron act in opposite directions.
The beam goes undeflected when these forces balance: $eE = evB$
$\Rightarrow v = \dfrac{E}{B}$
So the velocity of the undeflected beam is $\dfrac{|\vec{E}|}{|\vec{B}|}$.
