An electron (charge $q$ $C$) enters a magnetic field of $B$ $Wb/m^2$ with a velocity of $v$ $m/s$ in the same direction as that of the field. The force on the electron is:

  • A
    $Bqv$ $N$ in the direction of the magnetic field
  • B
    $Bqv$ dynes in the direction of the magnetic field
  • C
    $Bqv$ $N$ at right angles to the direction of the magnetic field
  • D
    Zero

Consider the following statements regarding a charged particle in a magnetic field. Which of the statements are true?

$A$ particle of charge $-q$ and mass $m$ enters a uniform magnetic field $\vec{B}$ at $A$ with speed $v_1$ at an angle $\alpha$ and leaves the field at $C$ with speed $v_2$ at an angle $\beta$ as shown. Then

In the Thomson experiment for finding $e/m$ for electrons,the beam of electrons is replaced by a beam of muons (particles with the same charge as electrons but with a mass $208$ times that of electrons). The condition for no deflection is satisfied if:

$A$ particle of charge $q$ and mass $m$ starts moving from the origin under the action of an electric field $\vec E = E\hat i$ and a magnetic field $\vec B = B\hat i$ with an initial velocity $\vec v = v_0\hat j$. The speed of the particle will become $2v_0$ after a time:
