An infinitely long straight conductor carries a current of $5 \, A$ as shown. An electron is moving with a speed of $10^{5} \, m/s$ parallel to the conductor. The perpendicular distance between the electron and the conductor is $20 \, cm$ at an instant. Calculate the magnitude of the force experienced by the electron at that instant in $\times 10^{-20} \, N$.

Which particles will have the minimum frequency of revolution when projected with the same velocity perpendicular to a magnetic field?

Assertion : $A$ proton and an alpha particle having the same kinetic energy are moving in circular paths in a uniform magnetic field. The radii of their circular paths will be equal.
Reason : Any two charged particles having equal kinetic energies and entering a region of uniform magnetic field $\overrightarrow{B}$ in a direction perpendicular to $\overrightarrow{B}$,will describe circular trajectories of equal radii.

$A$ charged particle with a velocity $2 \times 10^{3} \ ms^{-1}$ passes undeflected through electric and magnetic fields in mutually perpendicular directions. The magnetic field is $1.5 \ T$. The magnitude of the electric field will be:

$A$ particle of mass $m = 1.67 \times 10^{-27} \, kg$ and charge $q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, C$ enters a region of uniform magnetic field of strength $B = 1 \, T$ as shown in the figure. The magnetic field is directed into the plane of the paper. The particle enters at point $C$ with an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the boundary. Find the time spent by the particle in the magnetic field region in $ns$.

$A$ particle of specific charge (charge/mass) $\alpha$ starts moving from the origin under the action of an electric field $\vec{E} = E_0 \hat{i}$ and a magnetic field $\vec{B} = B_0 \hat{k}$. Its velocity at $(x_0, y_0, 0)$ is $(4 \hat{i} + 3 \hat{j})$. The value of $x_0$ is:
