The motion of a charged particle can be used to distinguish between a magnetic field and an electric field in a certain region by firing the charge:

  • A
    Parallel to the field
  • B
    Perpendicular to the field
  • C
    From opposite directions
  • D
    With different speeds

$A$ charged particle is released from rest in a region of steady uniform electric and magnetic fields which are parallel to each other. The particle will move in a:

$A$ proton,an electron,and a Helium nucleus have the same kinetic energy. They are moving in circular orbits in a plane due to a magnetic field perpendicular to the plane. Let $r_p, r_e$,and $r_{He}$ be their respective radii. Then:

$A$ proton and an alpha particle are separately projected in a region where a uniform magnetic field exists. Their initial velocities are perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field. If both the particles move around the magnetic field in circles of equal radii,the ratio of the momentum of the proton to the alpha particle $\left( \frac{P_p}{P_\alpha} \right)$ is

An $\alpha$-particle travels in a circular path of radius $0.45\,m$ in a magnetic field $B = 1.2\,Wb/m^2$ with a speed of $2.6 \times 10^7\,m/s$. The period of revolution of the $\alpha$-particle is:

$A$ proton (mass $m$,charge $q$) accelerated by a potential difference $V$ flies through a uniform transverse magnetic field $B$. The field occupies a region of space of width $d$. If $\alpha$ is the angle of deviation of the proton from the initial direction of motion (see figure),the value of $\sin \alpha$ will be:
