Two long parallel conductors $S_{1}$ and $S_{2}$ are separated by a distance $10 \, cm$ and carry currents of $4 \, A$ and $2 \, A$ respectively. The conductors are placed along the $x$-axis in the $X-Y$ plane. There is a point $P$ located between the conductors (as shown in the figure). $A$ charged particle of $3 \pi \, C$ is passing through the point $P$ with velocity $\overrightarrow{v} = (2 \hat{i} + 3 \hat{j}) \, m/s$; where $\hat{i}$ and $\hat{j}$ represent unit vectors along the $x$ and $y$ axes respectively. The force acting on the charged particle is $4 \pi \times 10^{-5} (-x \hat{i} + 2 \hat{j}) \, N$. The value of $x$ is:

Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A) :$ An electron in a certain region of uniform magnetic field is moving with constant velocity in a straight line path.
Reason $(R) :$ The magnetic field in that region is along the direction of velocity of the electron.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below.

An electron enters a magnetic field whose direction is perpendicular to the velocity of the electron. Then

In an experiment,electrons are accelerated from rest by applying a voltage of $500 \, V$. Calculate the radius of the path if a magnetic field of $100 \, mT$ is then applied. [Charge of the electron $= 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, C$,Mass of the electron $= 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \, kg$]
