An electron is moving along the positive $X$-axis. You want to apply a magnetic field for a short time so that the electron may reverse its direction and move parallel to the negative $X$-axis. This can be done by applying the magnetic field along

  • A
    $Y$-axis
  • B
    $Z$-axis
  • C
    $Y$-axis only
  • D
    Both $(A)$ and $(B)$

$A$ charged particle is moving along a magnetic field line. What is the magnetic force acting on the particle? $(\sin 0^{\circ}=0, \sin \frac{\pi}{2}=1)$

Two particles $x$ and $y$ have equal charges and possess equal kinetic energy. They enter a uniform magnetic field and describe circular paths of radius of curvature $r_1$ and $r_2$ respectively. The ratio of their masses is

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:

Assertion $(A)$: When a proton and a neutron enter into a transverse magnetic field with equal speeds,they trace circular paths of equal radii.
Reason $(R)$: In a transverse magnetic field,the period of revolution of a charged particle in a circular path is directly proportional to the mass of the particle.
