The acceleration of an electron at a moment in a magnetic field $\vec{B} = 2\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} + 4\hat{k}$ is $\vec{a} = x\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + \hat{k}$. The value of $x$ is

In the $xy$-plane, the region $y > 0$ has a uniform magnetic field $B_1 \hat{k}$ and the region $y < 0$ has another uniform magnetic field $B_2 \hat{k}$. A positively charged particle is projected from the origin along the positive $y$-axis with speed $v_0 = \pi \text{ m s}^{-1}$ at $t = 0$, as shown in the figure. Neglect gravity in this problem. Let $t = T$ be the time when the particle crosses the $x$-axis from below for the first time. If $B_2 = 4 B_1$, the average speed of the particle, in $\text{m s}^{-1}$, along the $x$-axis in the time interval $T$ is. . . .

Two very long,straight,parallel wires carry steady currents $I$ and $-I$ respectively. The distance between the wires is $d$. At a certain instant of time,a point charge $q$ is at a point equidistant from the two wires,in the plane of the wires. Its instantaneous velocity $v$ is perpendicular to the plane of wires. The magnitude of the force due to the magnetic field acting on the charge at this instant is

$A$ proton accelerated by a potential difference of $500 \ kV$ moves through a transverse magnetic field of $0.5 \ T$ as shown in the figure. The angle $\theta$,through which the proton deviates from the initial direction of its motion,is (mass of proton $= 1.6 \times 10^{-27} \ kg$):- (in $^{\circ}$)
