The motion of a charged particle can be used to distinguish between a magnetic field and an electric field in a certain region by firing the charge:

  • A
    Parallel to the field
  • B
    Perpendicular to the field
  • C
    From opposite directions
  • D
    With different speeds

$A$ charged particle is projected with velocity $\vec{v}$ in a uniform magnetic field $\vec{B}$. For the magnetic force on it to be maximum,which of the following is correct?

$A$ uniform magnetic field $B$ is acting from south to north and is of magnitude $1.5 \ Wb/m^2$. If a proton having mass $m = 1.7 \times 10^{-27} \ kg$ and charge $q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C$ moves in this field vertically downwards with energy $5 \ MeV$,then the force acting on it will be

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 having kinetic energy $T$ is moving in a circular orbit of radius $R$ perpendicular to a uniform magnetic induction $\vec{B}$. If kinetic energy is doubled and magnetic induction is tripled,the radius will become

$A$ proton moving with a velocity of $2.5 \times 10^7 \, m/s$ enters a magnetic field of intensity $2.5 \, T$ making an angle of $30^o$ with the magnetic field. The force on the proton is:
