Two very long,straight,and parallel wires carry steady currents $I$ and $I$ respectively in opposite directions. The distance between the wires is $d$. At a certain instant of time,a point charge $q$ is at a point equidistant from the two wires in the plane of the wires. Its instantaneous velocity $v$ is perpendicular to this plane. The magnitude of the force due to the magnetic field acting on the charge at this instant is

An electron is moving in a circular path under the influence of a transverse magnetic field of $3.57 \times 10^{-2} \, T$. If the value of $e/m$ is $1.76 \times 10^{11} \, C/kg$,the frequency of revolution of the electron is
