$A$ charged particle moving with a velocity $\vec{v} = v_1 \hat{i} + v_2 \hat{j}$ in a magnetic field $\vec{B}$ experiences a force $\vec{F} = F_1 \hat{i} + F_2 \hat{j}$. Here $v_1, v_2, F_1, F_2$ are all constants. Then $\vec{B}$ can be

The magnetic field vector of an electromagnetic wave is given by $\vec{B} = B_0 \frac{\hat{i} + \hat{j}}{\sqrt{2}} \cos(kz - \omega t)$,where $\hat{i}$ and $\hat{j}$ represent unit vectors along the $x$ and $y$-axes,respectively. At $t = 0 \, s$,two electric charges $q_1 = 4\pi \, C$ and $q_2 = 2\pi \, C$ are located at $(0, 0, \pi/k)$ and $(0, 0, 3\pi/k)$,respectively. Both charges have the same velocity $\vec{v} = 0.5c\hat{i}$,where $c$ is the speed of light. The ratio of the magnetic force acting on charge $q_1$ to that on $q_2$ is:

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
