  • A
    straight line along the $x$-direction
  • B
    a circle in the $xz$-plane

$A$ proton of velocity $(3\hat i + 2\hat j) \, ms^{-1}$ enters a magnetic field of $(2\hat j + 3\hat k) \, T$. The acceleration produced in the proton is (charge to mass ratio of proton $= 0.96 \times 10^8 \, C/kg$)

As shown in the figure,the uniform magnetic field between the two identical plates is $B$. There is a hole in the bottom plate. If a particle of charge $q$,mass $m$,and energy $E$ enters this magnetic field through this hole,then the particle will not collide with the upper plate provided:

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. . . . . .

$A$ particle having charge $q$ enters a region of uniform magnetic field $\vec{B}$ (directed inwards) and is deflected a distance $x$ after travelling a distance $y$. The magnitude of the momentum of the particle is:
