$A$ beam of protons enters a uniform magnetic field of $0.314 \ T$ with a velocity $4 \times 10^5 \ ms^{-1}$ in a direction making an angle $60^{\circ}$ with the direction of the magnetic field. The path of the beam is (mass of proton $= 1.6 \times 10^{-27} \ kg$).

  • A
    a circle of radius $0.2 \ m$
  • B
    a straight line
  • C

An electron and a proton of equal linear momentum enter in a direction perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field. If the radii of their circular paths are $r_e$ and $r_p$ respectively,then $\frac{r_e}{r_p}$ is equal to - (mass of electron $= m_e$,mass of proton $= m_p$)

Which of the following,while in motion,cannot be deflected by a magnetic field?

$A$ proton of mass $m$ and charge $+e$ is moving in a circular orbit in a magnetic field with energy $1\, MeV$. What should be the energy of $\alpha$-particle (mass = $4m$ and charge = $+2e$) so that it can revolve in the path of the same radius?

When a positively charged particle enters a uniform magnetic field with uniform velocity, its trajectory can be:
$(1)$ a straight line
$(2)$ a circle
$(3)$ a helix

In the $xy$-plane,the region $y > 0$ has a uniform magnetic field $B_1 \hat{k}$ and the region $y < 0$ has another uniform magnetic field $B_2 \hat{k}$. $A$ positively charged particle is projected from the origin along the positive $y$-axis with speed $v_0 = \pi \text{ m s}^{-1}$ at $t = 0$,as shown in the figure. Neglect gravity in this problem. Let $t = T$ be the time when the particle crosses the $x$-axis from below for the first time. If $B_2 = 4 B_1$,the average speed of the particle,in $\text{m s}^{-1}$,along the $x$-axis in the time interval $T$ is. . . . . .
