Uniform magnetic fields of different strengths ($B_1$ and $B_2$),both normal to the plane of the paper,exist as shown in the figure. $A$ charged particle of mass $m$ and charge $q$,at the interface at an instant,moves into the region $2$ with velocity $v$ and returns to the interface. It continues to move into region $1$ and finally reaches the interface. What is the displacement of the particle during this movement along the interface? (Consider the velocity of the particle to be normal to the magnetic field and $B_2 > B_1$)

  • A
    $\frac{mv}{qB_1}\left(1-\frac{B_2}{B_1}\right) \times 2$
  • B
    $\frac{mv}{qB_1}\left(1-\frac{B_1}{B_2}\right)$
  • C
    $\frac{mv}{qB_1}\left(1-\frac{B_2}{B_1}\right)$
  • D
    $\frac{mv}{qB_1}\left(1-\frac{B_1}{B_2}\right) \times 2$

$A$ nucleus at rest undergoes $\alpha -$ decay according to the equation ${}_{92}^{226}X \to Y + \alpha$. At $t=0$,the emitted $\alpha -$ particle enters a region of space where a uniform magnetic field $\vec{B} = B_0 \hat{i}$ and an electric field $\vec{E} = E_0 \hat{i}$ exist. The $\alpha -$ particle enters the region with velocity $\vec{v} = v_0 \hat{j}$ at $x = 0$. After a time $t = \left( \sqrt{3} \times 10^7 \frac{m_{\alpha}}{q_{\alpha} E_0} \right)$,the particle is found to have twice its initial speed. The initial speed $v_0$ of the $\alpha -$ particle is:
