  • A

    No change

  • B

    Reduces to $r / 2$

  • C

    Increases to $2r$

  • D

    Stops moving

A rectangular region of dimensions ( $\omega \times l(\omega) \ll l$ ) has a constant magnetic field into the plane of the paper as shown in the figure below. On one side, the region is bounded by a screen. On the other side, positive ions of mass $m$ and charge $q$ are accelerated from rest and towards the screen by a parallel plate capacitor at constant potential difference $V < 0$ and come out through a small hole in the upper plate. Which one of the following statements is correct regarding the charge on the ions that hit the screen?

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
