Answer the following questions:
$(a)$ $A$ magnetic field that varies in magnitude from point to point but has a constant direction (east to west) is set up in a chamber. $A$ charged particle enters the chamber and travels undeflected along a straight path with constant speed. What can you say about the initial velocity of the particle?
$(b)$ $A$ charged particle enters an environment of a strong and non-uniform magnetic field varying from point to point both in magnitude and direction,and comes out of it following a complicated trajectory. Would its final speed equal the initial speed if it suffered no collisions with the environment?
$(c)$ An electron travelling west to east enters a chamber having a uniform electrostatic field in north to south direction. Specify the direction in which a uniform magnetic field should be set up to prevent the electron from deflecting from its straight line path.

Two charged particles $A$ and $B$,each of charge $+e$ and masses $12 \, amu$ and $13 \, amu$ respectively,follow a circular trajectory in chamber $X$ after passing through a velocity selector as shown in the figure. Both particles enter the velocity selector with a speed of $1.5 \times 10^6 \, ms^{-1}$. $A$ uniform magnetic field of strength $1.0 \, T$ is maintained within the chamber $X$ and in the velocity selector,directed into the plane ($-z$ direction).
