$A$ particle of mass $0.6\, g$ and having a charge of $25\, nC$ is moving horizontally with a uniform velocity $1.2 \times 10^4\, m/s$ in a uniform magnetic field. If the particle continues to move with uniform velocity,the value of the magnetic induction is $(g = 10\, m/s^2)$.

The figure shows three situations when an electron moves with velocity $\vec v$ through a uniform magnetic field $\vec B$. In each case,what is the direction of the magnetic force on the electron?

An electrically charged particle enters a uniform magnetic field in a direction perpendicular to the field with a velocity $v$. Then,it travels:

$A$ particle of mass $m$ and charge $q$,moving with velocity $V$,enters Region $II$ normal to the boundary as shown in the figure. Region $II$ has a uniform magnetic field $B$ perpendicular to the plane of the paper. The length of Region $II$ is $\ell$. Choose the correct choice$(s)$.
Figure: $222707-q$
$(A)$ The particle enters Region $III$ only if its velocity $V > \frac{qB\ell}{m}$
$(B)$ The particle enters Region $III$ only if its velocity $V < \frac{qB\ell}{m}$
$(C)$ Path length of the particle in Region $II$ is maximum when velocity $V = \frac{qB\ell}{m}$
$(D)$ Time spent in Region $II$ is same for any velocity $V$ as long as the particle returns to Region $I$

An electron moving with a velocity $\vec{V_1} = 2\,\hat{i}\,\text{m/s}$ at a point in a magnetic field experiences a force $\vec{F_1} = -2\hat{j}\,\text{N}$. If the electron is moving with a velocity $\vec{V_2} = 2\,\hat{j}\,\text{m/s}$ at the same point,it experiences a force $\vec{F_2} = +2\,\hat{i}\,\text{N}$. The force the electron would experience if it were moving with a velocity $\vec{V_3} = 2\hat{k}\,\text{m/s}$ at the same point is
