Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A) :$ An electron in a certain region of uniform magnetic field is moving with constant velocity in a straight line path.
Reason $(R) :$ The magnetic field in that region is along the direction of velocity of the electron.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below.

  • A
    $(A)$ is false but $(R)$ is true
  • B
    Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are true and $(R)$ is the correct explanation of $(A)$
  • C
    Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are true but $(R)$ is $\text{NOT}$ the correct explanation of $(A)$
  • D
    $(A)$ is true but $(R)$ is false

$A$ charged particle is projected in a plane perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field. The area bounded by the path described by the particle is proportional to

An electron gun with its collector at a potential of $100 \; V$ fires out electrons in a spherical bulb containing hydrogen gas at low pressure $(\sim 10^{-2} \; mm$ of $Hg)$. $A$ magnetic field of $2.83 \times 10^{-4} \; T$ curves the path of the electrons in a circular orbit of radius $12.0 \; cm$. (The path can be viewed because the gas ions in the path focus the beam by attracting electrons,and emitting light by electron capture; this method is known as the 'fine beam tube' method.) Determine $e/m$ from the data.

An electron,a proton,and an alpha particle having the same kinetic energy are moving in circular orbits of radii $r_e, r_p$,and $r_{\alpha}$ respectively in a uniform magnetic field $B$. The relation between $r_e, r_p$,and $r_{\alpha}$ is:

An electron is accelerated by a potential difference of $12000\, V$. It then enters a uniform magnetic field of $10^{-3}\, T$ applied perpendicular to the path of the electron. Find the radius of the path. Given: mass of electron $m = 9 \times 10^{-31}\, kg$ and charge on electron $q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\, C$.

$A$ proton and an $\alpha$-particle (with their masses in the ratio of $1:4$ and charges in the ratio of $1:2$) are accelerated from rest through a potential difference $V$. If a uniform magnetic field $B$ is set up perpendicular to their velocities,the ratio of the radii $r_p : r_{\alpha}$ of the circular paths described by them will be
