Answer the following questions: A magnetic field that varies in magnitude from point to point but has a constant direction (east to west) is set up in a chamber. A charged particle enters the chamber and travels undeflected along a straight path with constant speed. What can you say about the initial velocity of the particle?

Answer the following questions: A charged particle enters an environment of a strong and non-uniform magnetic field varying from point to point both in magnitude and direction, and comes out of it following a complicated trajectory. Would its final speed equal the initial speed if it suffered no collisions with the environment?

Answer the following questions:An electron travelling west to east enters a chamber having a uniform electrostatic field in north to south direction. Specify the direction in which a uniform magnetic field should be set up to prevent the electron from deflecting from its straight line path.

A charged particle moving with a uniform velocity vecv enters a region where uniform electric and magnetic fields vecE and vecB are present. It passes through the region without any change in its velocity. What can we conclude about the magnitude of vecE and vecB ?

A charged particle moving with a uniform velocity vecv enters a region where uniform electric and magnetic fields vecE and vecB are present. It passes through the region without any change in its velocity. What can we conclude about the relative direction of vecE , vecv and vecB?

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 xx 10^5 V m^-1 make a simple guess as to what the beam contains. Why is the answer not unique?

In the figure gives a speed-time graph of a particle in motion along a constant direction. Three equal intervals of time are shwon. In which interval is the average acceleration greatest in magnitude ? In which interval is the average speed greatest ? Choosing the positive direction as the constant direction of motion, give the signs of v and a in the three intervals. What are the acceleration at the points A,B,C and D?

Direction. In the follwing questions, a statement of assertion is followed by a statement of reason. While answering a question, you are required to choose the correct are out of the given four responses and mark it as (A). If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion, (B) if both assertion and reason are true but reason is not correct explanation of the assertion. (C) if asssertion is true, but reason if false, (D) if both assertion and reason are false Assertion : The energy of a charged particle does not change, when it moves inside the magnetic field. Reason: It is because, force on the charged particle due to the magnetic field acts perpendicular to its path.

The question given below consist of an assertion (A) and a reason ( R). Use the following key to choose the appropriate answer to these questions from the codes (a), (b), ( c) and (d) given below: (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A. (b) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A. (c) A is true but R is false. (d) A is false and R is also false. Assertion: When a charged particle moves in a circular path in a perpendicular magnetic field, the momentum of the charged particle remains constant. Reason: Velocity of the charged particle remains constant.
