$A$ mass spectrometer is a device which selects particles of equal mass. An ion with electric charge $q > 0$ and mass $m$ starts at rest from a source $S$ and is accelerated through a potential difference $V$. It passes through a hole into a region of constant magnetic field $\vec B$ perpendicular to the plane of the paper as shown in the figure. The particle is deflected by the magnetic field and emerges through the bottom hole at a distance $d$ from the top hole. The mass of the particle is:

  • A
    $\frac{qBd}{mV}$
  • B
    $\frac{qB^2d^2}{4V}$
  • C
    $\frac{qB^2d^2}{8V}$
  • D
    $\frac{qBd}{2mV}$

Two circular coils $1$ and $2$ are made from the same wire,but the radius of the first coil is twice that of the second coil. What is the ratio of the potential difference applied across them so that the magnetic field at their centres is the same?

The figure shows a circular coil carrying current $i$ kept very close but not touching at a point $A$ on a straight conductor carrying the same current $i$. The magnitude of magnetic induction at the centre $O$ of the circular coil will be:
