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:

  • A
    $r/4$
  • B
    $r/2$
  • C
    $2r$
  • D
    $4r$

The following figure shows the path of an electron that passes through two regions containing uniform magnetic fields of magnitudes $B_1$ and $B_2$. Its path in each region is a half-circle. Choose the correct option.

Two charged particles of mass $m$ and charge $q$ each are projected from the origin simultaneously with the same speed $V$ in a transverse magnetic field $B$. If $\vec{r}_1$ and $\vec{r}_2$ are the position vectors of the particles (with respect to the origin) at $t = \frac{\pi m}{qB}$, then the value of $\vec{r}_1 \cdot \vec{r}_2$ at that time is:

$A$ proton of mass $m$ moving with a speed $v$ ($v << c$,where $c$ is the velocity of light in vacuum) completes a circular orbit in time $T$ in a uniform magnetic field. If the speed of the proton is increased to $\sqrt{2}v$,what will be the time needed to complete the circular orbit?

$A$ uniform magnetic field $B$ is acting from south to north and is of magnitude $1.5 \ Wb/m^2$. If a proton having mass $m = 1.7 \times 10^{-27} \ kg$ and charge $q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C$ moves in this field vertically downwards with energy $5 \ MeV$,then the force acting on it will be
