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:

  • A
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are correct.
  • B
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are incorrect.
  • C
    Statement $I$ is correct but Statement $II$ is incorrect.
  • D
    Statement $I$ is incorrect but Statement $II$ is correct.

$A$ proton accelerated by a potential difference of $500 \ kV$ flies through a uniform transverse magnetic field of $0.1 \ T$. The field is spread over a region of $1.0 \ cm$ thickness. The angle through which the proton gets deviated from its original direction is (Proton mass $= 1.6 \times 10^{-27} \ kg$ and charge of proton $= 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C$) (in $rad$)

The acceleration of an electron at a moment in a magnetic field $\vec{B} = 2\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} + 4\hat{k}$ is $\vec{a} = x\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + \hat{k}$. The value of $x$ is

${H^ + },\,H{e^ + }$ and ${O^{ + + }}$ ions having same kinetic energy pass through a region of space filled with a uniform magnetic field $B$ directed perpendicular to the velocity of the ions. The masses of the ions ${H^ + },\,H{e^ + }$ and ${O^{ + + }}$ are respectively in the ratio $1:4:16$. As a result:

Assertion : $A$ proton and an alpha particle having the same kinetic energy are moving in circular paths in a uniform magnetic field. The radii of their circular paths will be equal.
Reason : Any two charged particles having equal kinetic energies and entering a region of uniform magnetic field $\overrightarrow{B}$ in a direction perpendicular to $\overrightarrow{B}$,will describe circular trajectories of equal radii.

In a chamber,a uniform magnetic field of $6.5 \;G \left(1 \;G = 10^{-4} \;T \right)$ is maintained. An electron is shot into the field with a speed of $4.8 \times 10^{6} \;m s^{-1}$ normal to the field. Explain why the path of the electron is a circle. Determine the radius of the circular orbit. $\left(e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \;C, m_{e} = 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \;kg \right)$
