$A$ stream of electrons and protons are directed towards a narrow slit in a screen (see figure). The intervening region has a uniform electric field $E$ (vertically downwards) and a uniform magnetic field $B$ (out of the plane of the figure) as shown. Then:

  • A
    electrons and protons with speed $\frac{|E|}{|B|}$ will pass through the slit
  • B
    protons with speed $|E| /|B|$ will pass through the slit,electrons of the same speed will not
  • C
    neither electrons nor protons will go through the slit irrespective of their speed
  • D
    electrons will always be deflected upwards irrespective of their speed

$A$ proton of mass $m$ and charge $q$ is moving in a plane with kinetic energy $E$. If there exists a uniform magnetic field $B$,perpendicular to the plane of the motion,the proton will move in a circular path of radius

$A$ positively charged particle $q$ of mass $m$ is passed through a velocity selector. It moves horizontally rightward without deviation along the line $y = \frac{2mv}{qB}$ with a speed $v$. The electric field is vertically downwards and the magnetic field is into the plane of the paper. Now,the electric field is switched off at $t = 0$. The angular momentum of the charged particle about the origin $O$ at $t = \frac{\pi m}{qB}$ is:
