$A$ horizontal conductor is oriented north-south and carries some current. $A$ positively charged particle located vertically above it and having a velocity directed northward experiences an upward force. What is the direction of the force if this charged particle were located to the east of the conductor and had a velocity directed towards the conductor?

  • A
    North
  • B
    South
  • C
    Up
  • D

$A$ 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?
