$A$ rectangular region of dimensions $(\omega \times l)$ where $\omega \ll l$ has a constant magnetic field $B$ directed into the plane of the paper as shown in the figure. On one side,the region is bounded by a screen. On the other side,positive ions of mass $m$ and charge $q$ are accelerated from rest by a parallel plate capacitor at a constant potential difference $V$ and enter the magnetic field region through a small hole. Which one of the following statements is correct regarding the charge $q$ on the ions that hit the screen?

  • A
    Ions with $q > \frac{2mV}{B^2\omega^2}$ will hit the screen
  • B
    Ions with $q < \frac{2mV}{B^2\omega^2}$ will hit the screen
  • C
    All ions will hit the screen
  • D
    Only ions with $q = \frac{2mV}{B^2\omega^2}$ will hit the screen

Velocity and acceleration vectors of a charged particle moving perpendicular to the direction of a magnetic field at a given instant of time are $\overrightarrow{v}=2 \hat{i}+c \hat{j}$ and $\overrightarrow{a}=3 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}$ respectively. Then the value of $c$ is

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: The electric force changes the speed of the charged particle and hence changes its kinetic energy; whereas the magnetic force does not change the kinetic energy of the charged particle.
Statement $II$: The electric force accelerates the positively charged particle perpendicular to the direction of the electric field. The magnetic force accelerates the moving charged particle along the direction of the magnetic field.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

An electron is moving along the positive $X$-axis. You want to apply a magnetic field for a short time so that the electron may reverse its direction and move parallel to the negative $X$-axis. This can be done by applying the magnetic field along

The figure shows three situations when an electron with velocity $\vec v$ travels through a uniform magnetic field $\vec B$. In each case,what is the direction of the magnetic force on the electron?

An electron having kinetic energy of $100 eV$ circulates in a path of radius $10 cm$ in a magnetic field. The magnitude of magnetic field $|B|$ is approximately [Mass of electron $= 0.5 MeV/c^2$,where $c$ is the velocity of light].
