An electron enters with a velocity $\vec{v} = v_0 \hat{i}$ into a cubical region (faces parallel to coordinate planes) in which there are uniform electric and magnetic fields. The orbit of the electron is found to spiral down inside the cube in a plane parallel to the $xy$-plane. Suggest a configuration of fields $\vec{E}$ and $\vec{B}$ that can lead to this.

$A$ proton (mass $m$,charge $q$) accelerated by a potential difference $V$ flies through a uniform transverse magnetic field $B$. The field occupies a region of space of width $d$. If $\alpha$ is the angle of deviation of the proton from the initial direction of motion (see figure),the value of $\sin \alpha$ will be:

An electron of mass $m$ and charge $q$ is travelling with a speed $v$ along a circular path of radius $r$ at right angles to a uniform magnetic field $B$. If the speed of the electron is doubled and the magnetic field is halved,then the resulting path would have a radius of:
