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

An electron of mass $m$ and charge $q$ is travelling with a speed $v$ along a circular path of radius $r$ at right angles to a uniform magnetic field $B$. If the speed of the electron is doubled and the magnetic field is halved,then the resulting path would have a radius of:

If a proton of kinetic energy $8.35 \text{ MeV}$ enters a uniform magnetic field of $10 \text{ T}$ at right angles to the direction of the field,then the force acting on the proton is (Mass of proton $= 1.67 \times 10^{-27} \text{ kg}$ and charge of proton $= 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \text{ C}$)

Which of the following particles will describe the smallest circle when projected with the same velocity perpendicular to the magnetic field?

An electron,a proton,a deuteron,and an alpha particle,each having the same speed,are in a region of constant magnetic field perpendicular to the direction of the velocities of the particles. The radii of the circular orbits of these particles are respectively $R_e, R_p, R_d$,and $R_\alpha$. It follows that:

An electron having kinetic energy of $100 eV$ circulates in a path of radius $10 cm$ in a magnetic field. The magnitude of magnetic field $|B|$ is approximately [Mass of electron $= 0.5 MeV/c^2$,where $c$ is the velocity of light].
