$A$ magnetic field set up using Helmholtz coils is uniform in a small region and has a magnitude of $0.75 \;T$. In the same region,a uniform electrostatic field is maintained in a direction normal to the common axis of the coils. $A$ narrow beam of (single species) charged particles all accelerated through $15 \;kV$ enters this region in a direction perpendicular to both the axis of the coils and the electrostatic field. If the beam remains undeflected when the electrostatic field is $9.0 \times 10^{5} \;V \,m^{-1}$,make a simple guess as to what the beam contains. Why is the answer not unique?

An electron and a proton have equal kinetic energies. They enter a magnetic field perpendicularly. Then:

In a region,steady and uniform electric and magnetic fields are present. These two fields are parallel to each other. $A$ charged particle is released from rest in this region. The path of the particle will be a

$A$ 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 $ns$.

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
