$A$ deuteron and a proton moving with equal kinetic energy enter into a uniform magnetic field at a right angle to the field. If $r_{d}$ and $r_{p}$ are the radii of their circular paths respectively,then the ratio $\frac{r_{d}}{r_{p}}$ will be $\sqrt{x} : 1$ where $x$ is ..........

An electron,a proton,a deuteron,and an alpha particle,each having the same speed,are in a region of constant magnetic field perpendicular to the direction of the velocities of the particles. The radii of the circular orbits of these particles are respectively $R_e, R_p, R_d$,and $R_\alpha$. It follows that:

$A$ magnetic field is applied on an electron moving with a velocity of $10^7 \,m/s$ at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ to the magnetic field. The time period of revolution of the electron in a circular path of radius $2 \,m$ is . . . . . .

$A$ particle of mass $m$ and charge $q$,moving with velocity $V$,enters region $II$ normal to the boundary as shown in the figure. Region $II$ has a uniform magnetic field $B$ perpendicular to the plane of the paper. The length of the region $II$ is $l$. Choose the incorrect option.

An electron experiences a force $\vec{F} = (4.0\,\hat{i} + 3.0\,\hat{j}) \times 10^{-13}\,N$ in a uniform magnetic field when its velocity is $\vec{v}_1 = 2.5\,\hat{k} \times 10^7\,m/s$. When the velocity is redirected to $\vec{v}_2 = (1.5\,\hat{i} - 2.0\,\hat{j}) \times 10^7\,m/s$,the magnetic force on the electron is zero. The magnetic field $\vec{B}$ is:
