$A$ charged particle (electron or proton) is introduced at the origin $(x=0, y=0, z=0)$ with a given initial velocity $\overrightarrow{v}$. $A$ uniform electric field $\overrightarrow{E}$ and magnetic field $\vec{B}$ are given in columns $I, II$ and $III$, respectively. The quantities $E_0, B_0$ are positive in magnitude.

$(I)$ Electron with $\overrightarrow{v}=2 \frac{E_0}{B_0} \hat{x}$$(i)$ $\overrightarrow{E}=E_0 \hat{z}$$(P)$ $\overrightarrow{B}=-B_0 \hat{x}$
$(II)$ Electron with $\overrightarrow{v}=\frac{E_0}{B_0} \hat{y}$$(ii)$ $\overrightarrow{E}=-E_0 \hat{y}$$(Q)$ $\overrightarrow{B}=B_0 \hat{x}$

$(IV)$ Proton with $\overrightarrow{v}=2 \frac{E_0}{B_0} \hat{x}$$(iv)$ $\overrightarrow{E}=E_0 \hat{x}$$(S)$ $\overrightarrow{B}=B_0 \hat{z}$

$(1)$ In which case will the particle move in a straight line with constant velocity?
$(2)$ In which case will the particle describe a helical path with axis along the positive $z$ direction?
$(3)$ In which case would the particle move in a straight line along the negative direction of $y$-axis (i.e., move along $-\hat{y}$)?

The current flowing along the path $A B C D$ of a cube (shown in the left figure) produces a magnetic field at the centre of the cube of magnitude $B$. Dashed lines depict the non-conducting part of the cube. Consider a cubical shape shown to the right which is identical in size and shape to the left. If the same current now flows in along the path $D A E F G C D$,then the magnitude of the magnetic field at the centre will be

$A$ beam of electrons and protons move parallel to each other in the same direction. Then they:

Two parallel beams of electrons moving in the same direction produce a mutual force:

Two circular coils $1$ and $2$ are made from the same wire,but the radius of the first coil is twice that of the second coil. What is the ratio of the potential difference applied across them so that the magnetic field at their centres is the same?

The magnetic field at the centre of a circular coil of radius $r$ is $\pi$ times that due to a long straight wire at a distance $r$ from it,for equal currents. Figure shows three cases: in all cases,the circular part has radius $r$ and straight ones are infinitely long. For the same current,the $B$ field at the centre $P$ in cases $1$,$2$,and $3$ have the ratio:
