An electron is moving along the $+x$ direction. To make it move along an anticlockwise circular path in the $x-y$ plane,the magnetic field must be applied along:

  • A
    $+y$ direction
  • B
    $+z$ direction
  • C
    $-y$ direction
  • D
    $-z$ direction

An electron is moving along the positive $x$-axis. If a uniform magnetic field is applied parallel to the negative $z$-axis,then:
$A.$ The electron will experience a magnetic force along the positive $y$-axis.
$B.$ The electron will experience a magnetic force along the negative $y$-axis.
$C.$ The electron will not experience any force in the magnetic field.
$D.$ The electron will continue to move along the positive $x$-axis.
$E.$ The electron will move along a circular path in the magnetic field.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

An electron (mass $m$) is accelerated through a potential difference of $V$ and then it enters a magnetic field of induction $B$ normal to the field lines. The radius of the circular path is ($e$ = electronic charge).

$A$ monoenergetic beam of electrons moving along the $+y$ direction enters a region of uniform electric and magnetic fields. If the beam goes straight undeflected,then fields $B$ and $E$ are directed respectively along:

$A$ $10 \; eV$ electron is circulating in a plane at right angles to a uniform magnetic field of magnetic induction $10^{-4} \; Wb/m^2$ $(1.0 \; \text{gauss})$. The orbital radius of the electron is ........ $cm$.

$A$ particle of mass $m$ and charge $q$,moving with velocity $V$,enters Region $II$ normal to the boundary as shown in the figure. Region $II$ has a uniform magnetic field $B$ perpendicular to the plane of the paper. The length of Region $II$ is $\ell$. Choose the correct choice$(s)$.
Figure: $222707-q$
$(A)$ The particle enters Region $III$ only if its velocity $V > \frac{qB\ell}{m}$
$(B)$ The particle enters Region $III$ only if its velocity $V < \frac{qB\ell}{m}$
$(C)$ Path length of the particle in Region $II$ is maximum when velocity $V = \frac{qB\ell}{m}$
$(D)$ Time spent in Region $II$ is same for any velocity $V$ as long as the particle returns to Region $I$
