An electron gun is placed inside a long solenoid of radius $R$ on its axis. The solenoid has $n$ turns per unit length and carries a current $I$. The electron gun shoots an electron along the radius of the solenoid with speed $v$. If the electron does not hit the surface of the solenoid,the maximum possible value of $v$ is (all symbols have their standard meaning):

  • A
    $\frac{e \mu_{0} nIR}{m}$
  • B
    $\frac{e \mu_{0} nIR}{2 m}$
  • C
    $\frac{2 e \mu_{0} nIR}{m}$
  • D
    $\frac{e \mu_{0} nIR}{4 m}$

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:

Two particles,$A$ and $B$,having equal charges,after being accelerated through the same potential difference,enter into a region of uniform magnetic field and the particles describe circular paths of radii $R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$ respectively. The ratio of the masses of $A$ and $B$ is

$A$ particle of charge $q = -16 \times 10^{-18} \, C$ moving with velocity $v = 10 \, m/s$ along the $x$-axis enters a region where a magnetic field of induction $B$ is along the $y$-axis,and an electric field of magnitude $E = 10^4 \, V/m$ is along the negative $z$-axis. If the charged particle continues moving along the $x$-axis,the magnitude of $B$ is:

An electron beam passes through a magnetic field of $2 \times 10^{-3} \, Wb/m^2$ and an electric field of $1.0 \times 10^4 \, V/m$ both acting simultaneously. The path of the electron remains undeviated. What are the speed of the electron and the radius of the electron path if the electric field is removed?

An $\alpha$-particle travels in a circular path of radius $0.45\,m$ in a magnetic field $B = 1.2\,Wb/m^2$ with a speed of $2.6 \times 10^7\,m/s$. The period of revolution of the $\alpha$-particle is:
