An $\alpha - $ particle travels in a circular path of radius $0.45\, m$ in a magnetic field $B = 1.2\,Wb/{m^2}$ with a speed of $2.6 \times {10^7}\,m/\sec $. The period of revolution of the $\alpha - $ particle is

An electron enters the space between the plates of a charged capacitor as shown. The charge density on the plate is $\sigma $. Electric intensity in the space between the plates is $E$. A uniform magnetic field $B$ also exists in that space perpendicular to the direction of $E$. The electron moves perpendicular to both $\vec E$ and $\vec B$ without any change in direction. The time taken by the electron to travel a distance $\ell $ is the space is
