$A$ charged particle is moving in a uniform magnetic field. It penetrates a layer of lead and thereby loses half of its kinetic energy. What happens to the radius of curvature of its path?

  • A
    No change
  • B
    Reduced by $\frac{1}{2}$ times of its initial value
  • C
    Reduced to $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ times of its initial value
  • D
    Reduced to $\frac{1}{4}$ times of its initial value

$A$ rectangular region $ABCD$ contains a uniform magnetic field $B_0$ directed perpendicular to the plane of the rectangle. $A$ narrow stream of charged particles moving perpendicularly to the side $AB$ enters this region and is ejected through the adjacent side $BC$ suffering a deflection through $30^{\circ}$. In order to increase this deflection to $60^{\circ}$,the magnetic field has to be

$A$ proton, a deuteron, and an $\alpha$-particle are projected perpendicular to the direction of a uniform magnetic field with the same kinetic energy. The ratio of the radii of the circular paths described by them is

$A$ particle of mass $m = 1.67 \times 10^{-27} \, kg$ and charge $q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, C$ enters a region of uniform magnetic field of strength $B = 1 \, T$ along the direction shown in the figure. The speed of the particle is $v = 10^7 \, m/s$. The magnetic field is directed along the inward normal to the plane of the paper. The particle enters the field at $C$ and leaves at $D$. Then the angle $\theta$ must be :-

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 . . . . . . $T$.
