An electron is moving with a speed of ${10^8}\,m/\sec $ perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field of intensity $B$. Suddenly intensity of the magnetic field is reduced to $B/2$. The radius of the path becomes from the original value of $r$

  • A

    No change

  • B

    Reduces to $r / 2$

  • C

    Increases to $2r$

  • D

    Stops moving

Two protons move parallel to each other, keeping distance $r$ between them, both moving with same  velocity $\vec V\,$. Then the ratio of the electric and magnetic force of interaction between them is

In a mass spectrometer used for measuring the masses of ions, the ions are initially accelerated by an electric potential $V$ and then made to describe semicircular paths of radius $R$ using a magnetic field $B$. If $V$ and $B$ are kept constant, the ratio $\left( {\frac{{{\text{charge on the ion}}}}{{{\text{mass of the ion}}}}} \right)$ will be proportional to

An electron gun is placed inside a long solenoid of radius $\mathrm{R}$ on its axis. The solenoid has $\mathrm{n}$ turns/length and carries a current $I$. The electron gun shoots an electron along the radius of the solenoid with speed $v$. If the electron does not hit the surface of the solenoid, maximum possible value of ${v}$ is (all symbols have their standard meaning)
