Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: If oxygen ion $(O^{-2})$ and hydrogen ion $(H^{+})$ enter normal to the magnetic field with equal momentum,then the path of $O^{-2}$ ion has a smaller curvature than that of $H^{+}$.
Reason $R$: $A$ proton with same linear momentum as an electron will form a path of smaller radius of curvature on entering a uniform magnetic field perpendicularly.
In the light of the above statement,choose the correct answer from the options given below.

  • A
    $A$ is true but $R$ is false
  • B
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true but $R$ is $NOT$ the correct explanation of $A$
  • C
    $A$ is false but $R$ is true
  • D
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$

Velocity and acceleration vectors of a charged particle moving perpendicular to the direction of a magnetic field at a given instant of time are $\overrightarrow{v}=2 \hat{i}+c \hat{j}$ and $\overrightarrow{a}=3 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}$ respectively. Then the value of $c$ is

If an electron is moving in the direction of the magnetic field $\overrightarrow{B}$ with a velocity $\overrightarrow{v}$,then the force on the electron is:

Two charged particles of mass $m$ and charge $q$ each are projected from the origin simultaneously with the same speed $V$ in a transverse magnetic field $B$. If $\vec{r}_1$ and $\vec{r}_2$ are the position vectors of the particles (with respect to the origin) at $t = \frac{\pi m}{qB}$, then the value of $\vec{r}_1 \cdot \vec{r}_2$ at that time is:

$A$ uniform magnetic field $\vec{B} = B_0 \hat{j}$ exists in space. $A$ particle of mass $m$ and charge $q$ is projected towards the negative $x$-axis with speed $v$ from the point $(d, 0, 0)$. The maximum value of $v$ for which the particle does not hit the $y-z$ plane is
