A particle having a mass of $10^{- 2} \,kg$ carries a charge of $5 \times 10^{-8}\, C.$ The particle is given an initial horizontal velocity of $10^5\, m/s $ in the presence of electric field $E$ and magnetic field  $B.$ To keep the particle moving in a horizontal direction, it is necessary that

$(1)$ $\vec B$ should be perpendicular to the direction of velocity and $\vec E$ should be along the direction of velocity
$(2)$  Both $\vec B$ and $\vec E$ should be along the direction of velocity
$(3)$ Both $\vec B$ and $\vec E$ are mutually perpendicular and perpendicular to the direction of velocity.
$(4)$ $\vec B$ should be along the direction of velocity and $\vec E$ should be perpendicular to the direction of velocity

If the magnetic field is parallel to the positive $y-$axis and the charged particle is moving along the positive $x-$axis (Figure), which way would the Lorentz force be for

$(a)$ an electron (negative charge),

$(b)$ a proton (positive charge).

An electron and a positron are released from $(0, 0, 0)$ and $(0, 0, 1.5\, R)$ respectively, in a uniform magnetic field ${\rm{\vec B = }}{{\rm{B}}_0}{\rm{\hat i}}$ , each with an equal momentum of magnitude $P = eBR$. Under what conditions on the direction of momentum will the orbits be non-intersecting circles ?

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.
