Two charged particles $A$ and $B$ of masses $m$ and $2m$, charges $2q$ and $3q$ respectively, moving with the same velocity, enter a uniform magnetic field such that both particles make the same angle $( < 90^{\circ} )$ with the direction of the magnetic field. Then the ratio of the pitches of the helical paths of the particles $A$ and $B$ is

  • A
    $4:3$
  • B
    $3:2$
  • C
    $3:4$
  • D
    $2:3$

This question has Statement $1$ and Statement $2$. Of the four choices given after the Statements,choose the one that best describes the two Statements.
Statement $1$: $A$ charged particle is moving at a right angle to a static magnetic field. During the motion,the kinetic energy of the charge remains unchanged.
Statement $2$: $A$ static magnetic field exerts a force on a moving charge in the direction perpendicular to the magnetic field.

An electron (mass $= 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \, kg$; charge $= -1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, C$) experiences no deflection if subjected to an electric field of $3.2 \times 10^5 \, V/m$ and a magnetic field of $2.0 \times 10^{-3} \, Wb/m^2$. Both the fields are normal to the path of the electron and to each other. If the electric field is removed,then the electron will revolve in an orbit of radius.....$m$:

An electron,moving in a uniform magnetic field of induction of intensity $\vec{B}$,has its radius directly proportional to

$A$ particle of charge $1.6 \ \mu C$ and mass $16 \ \mu g$ is present in a strong magnetic field of $6.28 \ T$. The particle is then fired perpendicular to the magnetic field. The time required for the particle to return to its original location for the first time is . . . . . . $s$. $(\pi = 3.14)$

An electron moves through a uniform magnetic field $\vec{B} = B_0 \hat{i} + 2 B_0 \hat{j} \ T$. At a particular instant of time,the velocity of the electron is $\vec{v} = 3 \hat{i} + 5 \hat{j} \ m/s$. If the magnetic force acting on the electron is $\vec{F} = 5e \hat{k} \ N$,where $e$ is the magnitude of the charge of an electron,then the value of $B_0$ is . . . . . . $T$.
