  • A
    the force on the electron remains constant
  • B
    the kinetic energy of the electron remains constant

An $\alpha$-particle travels in a circular path of radius $0.45\,m$ in a magnetic field $B = 1.2\,Wb/m^2$ with a speed of $2.6 \times 10^7\,m/s$. The period of revolution of the $\alpha$-particle is:

Assertion $(A)$: When a proton and a neutron enter into a transverse magnetic field with equal speeds,they trace circular paths of equal radii.
Reason $(R)$: In a transverse magnetic field,the period of revolution of a charged particle in a circular path is directly proportional to the mass of the particle.

An electron moving towards the east enters a magnetic field directed towards the north. The force on the electron will be directed

An electron enters the space between the plates of a charged capacitor as shown. The surface charge density on the plates is $\sigma$. The electric field intensity in the space between the plates is $E$. $A$ uniform magnetic field $B$ also exists in the space,perpendicular to the direction of $E$. The electron moves perpendicular to both $\overrightarrow{E}$ and $\overrightarrow{B}$ without any change in direction. The time taken by the electron to travel a distance $l$ in the space is:

An electron (mass $m$) is accelerated through a potential difference of $V$ and then it enters a magnetic field of induction $B$ normal to the field lines. The radius of the circular path is ($e$ = electronic charge).
