An alpha particle moving with a certain speed towards the east enters a uniform magnetic field directed vertically up. The alpha particle will then move in:

  • A
    a vertical circular path with the same speed
  • B
    a horizontal circular path with the same speed
  • C
    a vertical circular path with increased speed
  • D
    a vertical circular path with decreased speed

$A$ proton and an alpha-particle moving with the same velocity enter a uniform magnetic field with their velocities perpendicular to the magnetic field. The ratio of the radii of their circular paths is

$A$ charged particle of charge $q$ and mass $m$ gets deflected through an angle $\theta$ upon passing through a square region of side $a$,which contains a uniform magnetic field $B$ normal to its plane. Assuming that the particle entered the square at right angles to one side,what is the speed of the particle?

An electron of mass $m$ and charge $e$ is projected normally from the surface of a sphere of radius $a$ with speed $v_0$ into a uniform magnetic field $B$ perpendicular to the plane of the paper. The centre of the sphere is at a distance $b$ from a wall. If the electron strikes the wall symmetrically with respect to the $x$-axis,what should be the magnetic field $B$ such that the charged particle just touches the wall?
