An electron having a charge e moves with a velocity $v$ in positive $x$ direction. A magnetic field acts on it in positive $y$ direction. The force on the electron acts in (where outward direction is taken as positive $z$-axis).

A beam of ions with velocity $2 \times {10^5}\,m/s$ enters normally into a uniform magnetic field of $4 \times {10^{ - 2}}\,tesla$. If the specific charge of the ion is $5 \times {10^7}\,C/kg$, then the radius of the circular path described will be.......$m$

A small block of mass $m$, having charge $q$ is placed on frictionless inclined plane making an angle  $\theta$ with the horizontal. There exists a uniform magnetic field $B$ parallel to the inclined plane but  perpendicular to the length of spring. If $m$ is slightly pulled on the inclined in downward direction and released, the time period of oscillation will be (assume that the block does not leave contact with the plane)
