$A$ charge '$q$' moves with a velocity $2 \ m/s$ along the $x$-axis in a uniform magnetic field $\vec{B} = (2 \hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} + 3 \hat{k}) \ T$. The charge will experience a force:

$A$ charge moves in a circular path perpendicular to a magnetic field. The time period of revolution is independent of

Describe the features of the magnetic force acting on a charged particle moving inside a magnetic field.

Two particles of charges $+Q$ and $-Q$ are projected from the same point with a velocity $v$ in a region of uniform magnetic field $B$ such that the velocity vector makes an angle $\theta$ with the magnetic field. Their masses are $M$ and $2M,$ respectively. Then,they will meet again for the first time at a point whose distance from the point of projection is

$A$ particle of charge $16 \times 10^{-16} \, C$ moving with velocity $10 \, ms^{-1}$ along the $x$-axis enters a region where a magnetic field of induction $\vec{B}$ is along the $y$-axis and an electric field of magnitude $10^4 \, Vm^{-1}$ is along the negative $z$-axis. If the charged particle continues moving along the $x$-axis,the magnitude of $\vec{B}$ is:
