An electron moves through a uniform magnetic field $\vec{B} = B_0 \hat{i} + 2 B_0 \hat{j} \ T$. At a particular instant of time,the velocity of the electron is $\vec{v} = 3 \hat{i} + 5 \hat{j} \ m/s$. If the magnetic force acting on the electron is $\vec{F} = 5e \hat{k} \ N$,where $e$ is the magnitude of the charge of an electron,then the value of $B_0$ is . . . . . . $T$.

$A$ charged particle is moving along a magnetic field line. What is the magnetic force acting on the particle? $(\sin 0^{\circ}=0, \sin \frac{\pi}{2}=1)$

An electron enters the space between the plates of a charged capacitor as shown. The surface charge density on the plates is $\sigma$. The electric field intensity in the space between the plates is $E$. $A$ uniform magnetic field $B$ also exists in the space,perpendicular to the direction of $E$. The electron moves perpendicular to both $\overrightarrow{E}$ and $\overrightarrow{B}$ without any change in direction. The time taken by the electron to travel a distance $l$ in the space is:

$A$ charge of $2.0\,\mu C$ moves with a speed of $3.0 \times 10^6\,m/s$ along the positive $X$-axis. $A$ magnetic field of strength $\vec B = -0.2\,\hat k\,T$ exists in space. What is the magnetic force $(\vec F_m)$ on the charge?
