An infinitely long straight conductor carries a current of $5 \, A$ as shown. An electron is moving with a speed of $10^{5} \, m/s$ parallel to the conductor. The perpendicular distance between the electron and the conductor is $20 \, cm$ at an instant. Calculate the magnitude of the force experienced by the electron at that instant in $\times 10^{-20} \, N$.

$A$ 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?

Two very long,straight,parallel wires carry steady currents $I$ and $-I$ respectively. 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 the plane of wires. The magnitude of the force due to the magnetic field acting on the charge at this instant is

$A$ small block of mass $20 \,g$ and charge $4 \,mC$ is released on a long smooth inclined plane of inclination angle $45^{\circ}$. $A$ uniform horizontal magnetic field of $1 \,T$ is acting parallel to the surface, as shown in the figure. The time from the start when the block loses contact with the surface of the plane is (in $\,s$)

An electron having a charge $e$ moves with a velocity $\vec{v}$ in the positive $x$-direction. $A$ magnetic field $\vec{B}$ acts on it in the positive $y$-direction. The force on the electron acts in (where the outward direction is taken as the positive $z$-axis):
