A particle of charge per unit mass $\alpha$ is released from origin with a velocity $\bar{v}=v_0 \vec{i}$ in a uniform magnetic field $\bar{B}=-B_0 \hat{k}$. If the particle passes through $(0, y, 0)$ then $y$ is equal to

A magnetic field set up using Helmholtz coils is uniform in a small region and has a magnitude of $0.75 \;T$. In the same region, a uniform electrostatic field is maintained in a direction normal to the common axis of the coils. A narrow beam of (single species) charged particles all accelerated through $15\; kV$ enters this region in a direction perpendicular to both the axis of the coils and the electrostatic field. If the beam remains undeflected when the electrostatic field is $9.0 \times 10^{-5} \;V\, m ^{-1},$ make a simple guess as to what the beam contains. Why is the answer not unique?

A proton of velocity $\left( {3\hat i + 2\hat j} \right)\,ms^{-1}$ enters a magnetic field of  $(2\hat j + 3\hat k)\, tesla$. The acceleration produced in the proton is (charge to mass ratio of proton $= 0.96 \times10^8\,Ckg^{-1}$)
