Assertion : $A$ proton and an alpha particle having the same kinetic energy are moving in circular paths in a uniform magnetic field. The radii of their circular paths will be equal.
Reason : Any two charged particles having equal kinetic energies and entering a region of uniform magnetic field $\overrightarrow{B}$ in a direction perpendicular to $\overrightarrow{B}$,will describe circular trajectories of equal radii.

In the $xy$-plane, the region $y > 0$ has a uniform magnetic field $B_1 \hat{k}$ and the region $y < 0$ has another uniform magnetic field $B_2 \hat{k}$. A positively charged particle is projected from the origin along the positive $y$-axis with speed $v_0 = \pi \text{ m s}^{-1}$ at $t = 0$, as shown in the figure. Neglect gravity in this problem. Let $t = T$ be the time when the particle crosses the $x$-axis from below for the first time. If $B_2 = 4 B_1$, the average speed of the particle, in $\text{m s}^{-1}$, along the $x$-axis in the time interval $T$ is. . . .

In a Bainbridge mass spectrograph,a potential difference of $1000 \ V$ is applied between two plates separated by a distance of $1 \ cm$. If the magnetic field is $B = 1 \ T$,what is the velocity of the undeflected positive ions in $m/s$ from the velocity selector?

$A$ particle of mass $m = 1.67 \times 10^{-27} \, kg$ and charge $q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, C$ enters a region of uniform magnetic field of strength $B = 1 \, T$ as shown in the figure. The angle of incidence is $45^{\circ}$. The radius of the circular portion of the path is:

$A$ magnetic field set up using Helmholtz coils is uniform in a small region and has a magnitude of $0.75 \;T$. In the same region,a uniform electrostatic field is maintained in a direction normal to the common axis of the coils. $A$ narrow beam of (single species) charged particles all accelerated through $15 \;kV$ enters this region in a direction perpendicular to both the axis of the coils and the electrostatic field. If the beam remains undeflected when the electrostatic field is $9.0 \times 10^{5} \;V \,m^{-1}$,make a simple guess as to what the beam contains. Why is the answer not unique?
