An electron (charge $q$ $C$) enters a magnetic field of $B$ $Wb/m^2$ with a velocity of $v$ $m/s$ in the same direction as that of the field. The force on the electron is:

  • A
    $Bqv$ $N$ in the direction of the magnetic field
  • B
    $Bqv$ dynes in the direction of the magnetic field
  • C
    $Bqv$ $N$ at right angles to the direction of the magnetic field
  • D
    Zero

$A$ particle of specific charge (charge/mass) $\alpha$ starts moving from the origin under the action of an electric field $\vec{E} = E_0 \hat{i}$ and a magnetic field $\vec{B} = B_0 \hat{k}$. Its velocity at $(x_0, y_0, 0)$ is $(4 \hat{i} + 3 \hat{j})$. The value of $x_0$ is:

Consider the following statements regarding a charged particle in a magnetic field. Which of the statements are true?

$A$ positively charged particle $q$ of mass $m$ is passed through a velocity selector. It moves horizontally rightward without deviation along the line $y = \frac{2mv}{qB}$ with a speed $v$. The electric field is vertically downwards and the magnetic field is into the plane of the paper. Now,the electric field is switched off at $t = 0$.
