$A$ 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
    $\frac{qBd}{2mV}$

$A$ charge $Q$ is uniformly distributed over the surface of a nonconducting disc of radius $R$. The disc rotates about an axis perpendicular to its plane and passing through its centre with an angular velocity $\omega$. As a result of this rotation,a magnetic field of induction $B$ is obtained at the centre of the disc. If we keep both the amount of charge placed on the disc and its angular velocity constant and vary the radius of the disc,then the variation of the magnetic induction at the centre of the disc will be represented by which of the following figures?

The unit of magnetic flux density (or magnetic induction) is:
