&\mathrm{mg}=\mathrm{ilB}\\
&\begin{gathered}
250 \times 10^{-3} \times 9.8=i \times 2 \times 0.7 \\

A uniform electric field and a uniform magnetic field are acting along the same direction in a certain region. If an electron is projected in the region such that its velocity is pointed along the direction of fields, then the electron: [NEET 2023 Manipur]
Step 1: Understand the scenario
We have a uniform electric field (E) and a uniform magnetic field
(B) acting in the same direction. An electron is projected along the direction of these fields with a certain velocity (V).
Hint: Visualize the setup by drawing the electric field, magnetic field, and the direction of the electron’s velocity.
Step 2: Analyze the forces acting on the electron
When an electron is placed in an electric field, it experiences an electric force given by:
\(
F_E=q E
\)
where \(q\) is the charge of the electron (which is negative).
In a magnetic field, the force on a charged particle is given by:
\(
F_B=q(\mathbf{V} \times \mathbf{B})
\)
Since the electron is moving in the same direction as the magnetic field, the cross product \(\mathbf{V} \times \mathbf{B}\) will be zero:
\(
F_B=0
\)
Hint: Remember that the magnetic force depends on the angle between the velocity and the magnetic field. If they are parallel, the magnetic force is zero.
Step 3: Determine the net force acting on the electron
Since the magnetic force is zero, the only force acting on the electron is the electric force. The direction of the electric force is opposite to the direction of the electric field (since the electron has a negative charge).
Hint: Identify the direction of the electric force relative to the velocity of the electron.
Step 4: Analyze the effect of the electric force
The electric force will cause the electron to decelerate because it acts in the opposite direction to the velocity of the electron. This means that the speed of the electron will decrease over time.
Hint: Consider how forces affect motion according to Newton’s second law.
Step 5: Conclusion
Since the electron is experiencing a force that opposes its motion, its speed will decrease. Therefore, the correct conclusion is that the speed of the electron reduces.
Final Answer: The speed of the electron decreases.
A wire carrying a current \(I\) along the positive \(x\)-axis has length \(L\). It is kept in a magnetic field \(\vec{B}=(2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}-4 \hat{k}) \mathrm{T}\). The magnitude of the magnetic force acting on the wire is: [NEET 2023]
(d) The magnetic force \(\vec{F}\) on a current-carrying wire in a magnetic field is given by:
\(
\vec{F}=I \vec{L} \times \vec{B}
\)
where \(\vec{L}\) is the vector representing the length and direction of the wire. Since the wire is along the positive X -axis, we can represent it as:
\(
\vec{L}=L \hat{i}
\)
Now we need to calculate the cross product \(\vec{L} \times \vec{B}\) :
\(
\vec{F}=I(L \hat{i}) \times(2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}-4 \hat{k})
\)
Using the determinant form for the cross product:
\(
\vec{F}=I L\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
\hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\
1 & 0 & 0 \\
2 & 3 & -4
\end{array}\right|
\)
Expanding the determinant:
\(
\begin{gathered}
\vec{F}=I L(\hat{i}(0 \cdot-4-0 \cdot 3)-\hat{j}(1 \cdot-4-0 \cdot 2) \\
+\hat{k}(1 \cdot 3-0 \cdot 2))
\end{gathered}
\)
Simplifying this:
\(
\vec{F}=I L(0 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k})
\)
Therefore, we have:
\(
\vec{F}=I L(4 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k})
\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
&\text { The magnitude of the force }|\vec{F}| \text { is given by: }\\
&\begin{gathered}
|\vec{F}|=I L \sqrt{(4)^2+(3)^2}=I L \sqrt{16+9}=I L \sqrt{25} \\
=5 I L
\end{gathered}
\end{aligned}

A long solenoid of radius 1 mm has 100 turns per mm. If 1 A current flows in the solenoid, the magnetic field strength at the centre of the solenoid is: [NEET 2022]
(c)

If current carried by the wire of the coil is 1 A , the value of magnetic field produced at the centre of the coil will be (permeability of free space \(=4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{H} / \mathrm{m}\) ) nearly [NEET 2022 Phase 2]
(a) Magnetic field at the centre of coil
\(
B=\frac{\mu_0 N I}{2 R}
\)
On substituting the given values
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \Rightarrow B=\frac{4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \times 10^3}{2 \times 62.8 \times 10^{-2}} \\
& =10^{-3} \mathrm{~T}

\)
The shape of the magnetic field lines due to an infinite long, straight current carrying conductor is [NEET 2022 Phase 2]
(c) From the right hand curl rule, the shape of magnetic field lines due to long current carrying wire is circular (concentric circles).
Two very long, straight, parallel conductors A and B carry current of 5 A and 10 A respectively and are at a distance of 10 cm from each other. The direction of current in two conductors is same. The force acting per unit length between two conductors is : \(\left(\mu_0=4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{SI}\right.\) unit \()\) [NEET 2022]
(d)
Force per unit length between two long current carrying wires \(=\frac{\mu_0 I_1 I_2}{2 \pi d}\)
\(
F=\frac{4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \times 5 \times 10}{2 \pi \times 10 \times 10^{-2}}=10^{-4} \mathrm{Nm}^{-1}
\)
\(\Rightarrow\) The force is attractive as direction of current in two conductors is same
Hence, required force is \(1 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{Nm}^{-1}\) and it is attractive.
The magnetic field on the axis of a circular loop of radius 100 cm carrying current \(I=\sqrt{2} A\), at point 1 m away from the centre of the loop is given by : [NEET 2022]

&\text { Magnetic field at the axis of a current carrying circular loop }\\
&|B|=\frac{\mu_0 i a^2}{2\left[a^2+d^2\right]^{3 / 2}} \Rightarrow|B|=\frac{4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \times \sqrt{2} \times 1}{2[1+1]^{3 / 2}} \\
=3.14 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~T}

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Biot-Savart’s law gives us the expression for the magnetic field strength of an infinitesimal current element (\(I d l\) ) of a current-carrying conductor only.
Statement II: Biot-Savart’s law is analogous to Coulomb’s inverse square law of charge \(\boldsymbol{q}\), with the former being related to the field produced by a scalar source, ( \(I d l\) ) while the latter being produced by a vector source, \(\boldsymbol{q}\). [NEET 2022]
(d) According to Biot-Savart’s law \(d \vec{B}=\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{I \overrightarrow{d l} \times \vec{r}}{r^3}\) which is applicable for infinitesimal element. It is analogous to Coulomb’s law, where \(I \overrightarrow{d l}\) is vector source and electric field is produced by scalar source q. Here statement I is correct and statement II is incorrect.

The ratio of the radii of two circular coils is \(1: 2\). The ratio of currents in the respective coils such that the same magnetic moment is produced at the centre of each coil is: [NEET 2022]
(a)
The ratio of currents in the two coils is \(4: 1\). This means that the current in the first coil should be four times the current in the second coil to produce the same magnetic moment.
Explanation
(1) Define the variables. Let the radii of the two coils be \(r\) and \(2 r\), respectively. Let \(I_1\) and \(I_2\) be the currents flowing through the coils with radii \(r\) and \(2 r\), respectively.
(2) Express the magnetic moment for each coil. The magnetic moment of a circular coil is given by \(M=I A\), where \(I\) is the current and \(A\) is the area of the coil. For the first coil, the magnetic moment is \(M_1=I_1 \pi r^2\). For the second coil, the magnetic moment is \(M_2=I_2 \pi(2 r)^2=4 I_2 \pi r^2\).
(3) Equate the magnetic moments. Since the magnetic moment is the same for both coils, we have \(M_1=M_2\). Therefore, \(I_1 \pi r^2=4 I_2 \pi r^2\).
(4) Solve for the ratio of currents. Canceling out the common terms, we get \(I_1=4 I_2\). Therefore, the ratio of currents is \(\frac{I_1}{I_2}=\frac{4 I_2}{I_2}=4: 1\).
A strong magnetic field is applied along the direction of the velocity of an electron. The electron would move along: [NEET 2022]
(b) If a strong magnetic field is applied along the direction of an electron’s velocity, the electron would continue to move along the same path, experiencing no deflection, as the magnetic force acting on it would be zero due to the parallel alignment of the velocity and magnetic field.

The perpendicular distance between the electron and the conductor is 20 cm at an instant. Calculate the magnitude of the force experienced by the electron at that instant. [NEET 2021]

\begin{aligned}
& B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi R} \\
& \mathrm{~F}=\mathrm{BVq} \sin \theta \\
& \theta=90^{\circ} \\
& \mathrm{F}=\mathrm{BVq} \\
& F=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi R} \times V \times e=\frac{2 \times 10^{-7} \times 5}{20 \times 10^{-2}} \times 10^5 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \\

A uniform conducting wire of length \(12 a\) and resistance ‘ \(R\) ‘ is wound up as a current-carrying coil in the shape of; [NEET 2021]

\)
The magnetic dipole moments of the coil in each case respectively are:
(c)

What will be the complete expression for \(\vec{B}\) ? [NEET 2021]
(d) The magnetic force is given by:
\(
\vec{F}=q(\vec{v} \times \vec{B})
\)
Since \(q=1\), we have:
\(
\vec{F}=\vec{v} \times \vec{B}
\)
\(
\vec{v} \times \vec{B}=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
\hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\

\)
\(
\vec{v} \times \vec{B}=\left(4 B_0-6 B\right) \hat{i}-\left(2 B_0-6 B\right) \hat{j}
\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
&\text { Now, we set this equal to the force vector: }\\
&\left(4 B_0-6 B\right) \hat{i}-\left(2 B_0-6 B\right) \hat{j}=4 \hat{i}-20 \hat{j}+12 \hat{k}
\end{aligned}
\)
From the \(\hat{\boldsymbol{i}}\) component:
\(
4 B_0-6 B=4 \dots(1)
\)
From the \(\hat{\boldsymbol{j}}\) component:
\(
-\left(2 B_0-6 B\right)=-20 \Longrightarrow 2 B_0-6 B=20 \dots(2)
\)
The \(\hat{k}\) component gives no information since it equals zero.
From equation (1):
\(
\begin{gathered}
4 B_0-6 B=4 \Longrightarrow 4 B_0=6 B+4 \Longrightarrow B_0 \\
=\frac{6 B+4}{4}=\frac{3 B}{2}+1 \dots(3)
\end{gathered}
\)
From equation (2):
\(
\begin{gathered}
2 B_0-6 B=20 \Longrightarrow 2 B_0=6 B+20 \Longrightarrow B_0 \\
=3 B+10 \dots(4)
\end{gathered}
\)
Set equations (3) and (4) equal
\(
\frac{3 B}{2}+1=3 B+10
\)
Multiplying through by 2 to eliminate the fraction:
\(
3 B+2=6 B+20
\)
Rearranging gives:
\(
3 B=-18 \Longrightarrow B=-6
\)
Substitute \(B\) back to find \(B_0\)
Substituting \(B=-6\) into equation(3):
\(
B_0=\frac{3(-6)}{2}+1=-9+1=-8
\)
Final Result
Thus, the complete expression for \(\vec{B}\) is:
\(
\vec{B}=-6 \hat{i}-6 \hat{j}-8 \hat{k}

A wire of length \(L\) meters carrying a current of \(I\) ampere is bent in the form of a circle. What is its magnetic moment? [NEET 2020]
(d) Step 1: Understand the Formula for Magnetic Moment
The magnetic moment \(M\) of a current-carrying loop is given by the formula:
\(
M=N \cdot I \cdot A
\)
where:
\(N\) is the number of turns (which is 1 for a single loop),
\(I\) is the current in amperes,
\(A\) is the area enclosed by the loop.
Step 2: Determine the Area of the Circle
Since the wire is bent into a circle, the area \(A\) of the circle can be calculated using the formula:
\(
A=\pi r^2
\)
where \(r\) is the radius of the circle.
Step 3: Relate the Length of the Wire to the Radius
The length of the wire \(l\) is equal to the circumference of the circle formed:
\(
l=2 \pi r
\)
From this, we can solve for the radius \(r\) :
\(
r=\frac{l}{2 \pi}
\)
Step 4: Substitute the Radius into the Area Formula
Now, substitute \(r\) back into the area formula:
\(
A=\pi\left(\frac{l}{2 \pi}\right)^2
\)
Calculating this gives:
\(
A=\pi \cdot \frac{l^2}{4 \pi^2}=\frac{l^2}{4 \pi}
\)
Step 5: Substitute the Area into the Magnetic Moment Formula
Now we can substitute the area \(A\) back into the magnetic moment formula:
\(
M=N \cdot I \cdot A=1 \cdot I \cdot \frac{l^2}{4 \pi}
\)
Thus, the magnetic moment is:
\(
M=\frac{I l^2}{4 \pi}
\)
Step 6: Final Result
The magnetic moment of the wire bent in the form of a circle is:
\(
M=\frac{I l^2}{4 \pi}
\)

(b) Radius of the path \(=r=\frac{m v}{q B}=\frac{P}{q B}\)
For \(\mathrm{H}^{+}\)ion, \(r_H=\frac{p_H}{e B}\)
For \(\alpha\) particle
\(
\begin{aligned}
& r_\alpha=\frac{p_\alpha}{2 e B} \\
& \frac{r_H}{r_\alpha}=\frac{\frac{p}{e B}}{\frac{p}{2 e B}} \\

Two toroids 1 and 2 have total no. of turns 200 and 100 respectively with average radii 40 cm and 20 cm respectively. If they carry the same current \(i\), what will be the ratio of the magnetic fields along the two loops? [NEET 2019]
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \text { (a) } B=\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{~N} \cdot I}{2 \pi R} \\

Magnetic field due to \(i_2=\frac{\mu_1 i_2}{2 R} \frac{\theta_2}{2 \pi}\) (out of the plane )
For parallel combination \(\frac{i_1}{i_2}=\frac{\rho l_2}{A} \times \frac{A}{\rho l_1}=\frac{l_1}{l_2}\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \Rightarrow \frac{i_1}{i_2}=\frac{\frac{1}{1}(2 \pi R)}{\frac{3}{4}(2 \pi R)} \\

& =\frac{\mu_0}{2 R}\left[\frac{3 i_1}{4}-\frac{i_2}{4}\right] \\
& =\frac{\mu_0}{2 R}\left[\frac{3 i_1}{4}-\frac{3 i_1}{4}\right]=0

A long wire carrying a steady current is bent into a circular loop of one turn. The magnetic field at the centre of the loop is \(B\). It is then bent into a circular coil of \(n\) turns. The magnetic field at the centre of this coil of \(n\) turns will be: [NEET 2016]
(a) For One turn loop :

\end{aligned}
\)
Alternate:
(a) Let \(l\) be the length of the wire. Magnetic field at the centre of the loop is
\(
\begin{aligned}
& B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 R} \\
\therefore & B=\frac{\mu_0 \pi I}{l} (\because l=2 \pi R) \dots(i)\\
B^{\prime}= & \frac{\mu_0 n I}{2 r}=\frac{\mu_0 n I}{2\left(\frac{l}{2 n \pi}\right)} \\

A long straight wire of radius a carries a steady current \(I\). The current is uniformly distributed over its cross-section. The ratio of the magnetic fields \(B\) and \(B^{\prime}\) at radial distances \(\frac{a}{2}\) and \(2 a\) respectively, from the axis of the wire, is: [NEET 2016]
(b) Magnetic field at a point inside the wire at distance \(r\left(=\frac{a}{2}\right)\) from the axis of wire is
\(
B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi a^2} r=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi a^2} \times \frac{a}{2}=\frac{\mu_0 I}{4 \pi a}
\)
Magnetic field at a point outside the wire at distance \(r(=2 a)\) from the axis of wire is
\(
B^{\prime}=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi} \times \frac{1}{2 a}=\frac{\mu_0 I}{4 \pi a} \quad \therefore \frac{B}{B^{\prime}}=1

Moving perpendicular to field \(B\), a proton and an alpha particle both enter an area of uniform magnetic field \(B\). If the kinetic energy of the proton is 1 MeV and the radius of the circular orbits for both particles is equal, the energy of the alpha particle will be: [NEET 2015]
(d) As we know, \(F=q v B=\frac{m v^2}{R}\)
\(
\therefore \mathrm{R}=\frac{m v}{q B}=\frac{\sqrt{2 m(k E)}}{q B}
\)
Since R is same so, \(\mathrm{KE} \propto \frac{q^2}{m}\) Therefore KE of \(\alpha\) particle
\(
=\frac{q^2}{m}=\frac{(2)^2}{4}=1 \mathrm{MeV}

A circuit contains an ammeter, a battery of 30 V , and a resistance \(40.8 \Omega\) all connected in series. If the ammeter has a coil of resistance \(480 \Omega\) and a shunt of \(20 \Omega\), then the reading in the ammeter will be: [NEET 2015]
(a) The ammeter has a coil resistance of 480 ohms and a shunt of 20 ohms. Since the shunt is connected in parallel with the coil, we need to find the equivalent resistance of the ammeter.
The formula for the equivalent resistance \(R_{\text{s h u n t}}\) of two resistors in parallel \(R_1\) and \(R_2\) is given by:
\(
\frac{1}{R_{e q}}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}
\)
\(
\frac{1}{R_{e q}}=\frac{1}{480}+\frac{24}{480}=\frac{25}{480}
\)
\(
R_{e q}=\frac{480}{25}=19.2 \mathrm{ohm}
\)
Now, we need to find the total resistance in the circuit, which is the sum of the external resistor and the equivalent resistance of the ammeter:
\(
\begin{aligned}
& R_{\text {total }}=R_{\text {external }}+R_{e q}=40.8 \mathrm{ohm}+19.2 \mathrm{ohm} \\
&=60 \mathrm{ohm}

A rectangular coil of length 0.12 m and width 0.1 m having 50 turns of wire is suspended vertically in a uniform magnetic field of strength \(0.2 \mathrm{~Wb} / \mathrm{m}^2\). The coil carries a current of 2 A If the plane of the coil is inclined at an angle of \(30^{\circ}\) with the direction of the field, the torque required to keep the coil in stable equilibrium will be: [NEET 2015]
(b) To find the torque required to keep the rectangular coil in stable equilibrium, we can use the formula for torque \((\tau)\) on a current-carrying coil in a magnetic field:
\(
\tau=n \cdot I \cdot A \cdot B \cdot \sin (\theta)
\)
Where:
\(n=\) number of turns of the coil
\(I=\) current flowing through the coil
\(A=\) area of the coil
\(B=\) magnetic field strength
\(\theta=\) angle between the normal to the coil and the magnetic field
The area \(A\) of the rectangular coil can be calculated using the formula:
\(A=\) length \(\times\) width
Given:
Length \(=0.12 \mathrm{~m}\)
Width \(=0.1 \mathrm{~m}\)
Calculating the area:
\(
A=0.12 m \times 0.1 m=0.012 m^2
\)
We have:
Number of turns \(n=50\)
Current \(I=2 \mathrm{~A}\)
Magnetic field strength \(B=0.2\) Weber \(/ \mathrm{m}^2\)
Angle \(\theta=30^{\circ}\)
The angle \(\theta\) used in the torque formula is the angle between the magnetic field and the normal to the coil. Since the coil is inclined at \(30^{\circ}\) to the magnetic field, the angle between the normal to the coil and the magnetic field is:
\(
\theta=90^{\circ}-30^{\circ}=60^{\circ}
\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
&\text { Now we can substitute the values into the torque formula: }\\
&\tau=n \cdot I \cdot A \cdot B \cdot \sin \left(60^{\circ}\right)
\end{aligned}
\)
\(
\tau=50 \cdot 2 \cdot 0.012 \cdot 0.2 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

\(
\tau \approx 0.12 \cdot 1.732 \approx 0.2 \mathrm{~N} \mathrm{~m}

A galvanometer has a coil resistance of \(100 \Omega\) and gives a full-scale deflection for 30 mA of current. If it is to work as a voltmeter in the 30 V range, how much resistance does it require to be added? [AIPMT 2010]
(a)
\(
\begin{aligned}
&\text { Let the resistance to be added be } \mathrm{R} \text {, then }\\
&\begin{aligned}
& 30=\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{g}}(\mathrm{r}+\mathrm{R}) \\
& \therefore \mathrm{R}=\frac{30}{I_g}-r \\
& =\frac{30}{30 \times 10^{-3}}-100 \\
& =1000-100=900 \Omega
\end{aligned}

A square current-carrying loop is suspended in a uniform magnetic field acting in the plane of the loop. If the force on one arm of the loop is \(\vec{F}\), what will be the net force on the remaining three arms of the loop? [AIPMT 2010]
(b)Â When a current carrying loop is placed in a magnetic field, the coil experiences a torque given by \(\tau=N B i A \sin \theta\).
Torque is maximum when \(\theta=90^{\circ}\),i.e., the plane of the coil is parallel to the field \(\tau_{\max }=N B i A\)
Forces \(\vec{F}_1\) and \(\vec{F}_2\) acting on the coil are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. As the forces \(\vec{F}_2\) and \(\vec{F}_2\) have the same line of action their resultant effect on the coil is zero. The two forces \(\vec{F}_3\) and \(\vec{F}_4\) are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. As the two forces have different lines of action, they constitute a torque. Thus, if the force on one arc of the loop is \(\vec{F}\), the net force on the remaining three arms of the loop is \(-\vec{F}\).
A closely wound solenoid of 2000 turns and an area of cross-section of \(1.5 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~m}^2\) carries a current of 2.0 A . It is suspended through its centre and perpendicular to its length, allowing it to turn in a horizontal plane in a uniform magnetic field of \(5 \times 10^{-2}\) Tesla, making an angle of \(30^{\circ}\) with the axis of the solenoid. What will be the torque on the solenoid? [AIPMT 2010]
(b) Magnetic moment of the loop.
\(
M=N I A=2000 \times 2 \times 1.5 \times 10^{-4}=0.6 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{T}
\)
Torque \(\tau=A B \sin 30^{\circ}\)
\(
=0.6 \times 5 \times 10^{-2} \times \frac{1}{2}=1.5 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{Nm}

A particle having a mass of \(10^{-2} \mathrm{~kg}\) carries a charge of \(5 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{C}\). The particle is given an initial horizontal velocity of \(10^5 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\) in the presence of electric field \(\vec{E}\) and magnetic field \(\vec{B}\). To keep the particle moving in a horizontal direction, it is necessary that
(1) \(\vec{B}\) should be perpendicular to the direction of velocity and \(\vec{E}\) should be along the direction of velocity
(2) Both \(\vec{B}\) and \(\vec{E}\) should be along the direction of velocity
(3) Both \(\vec{B}\) and \(\vec{E}\) are mutually perpendicular and perpendicular to the direction of velocity.
(4) \(\vec{B}\) should be along the direction of velocity and \(\vec{E}\) should be perpendicular to the direction of velocity
Which one of the following pairs of statements is possible? [AIPMT 2010]
(c) Force due to electric field acts along the direction of the electric field but force due to the magnetic field acts along a direction perpendicular to both the velocity of the charged particle and the magnetic field. Hence both statements (2) and (3) are true. In statement (2), magnetic force is zero, so, electric force will keep the particle continue to move in horizontal direction. In statement (3), both electric and magnetic forces will be opposite to each other. If their magnitudes will be equal then the particle will continue horizontal motion.
Two identical bar magnets are fixed with their centres at a distance d apart. A stationary charge \(Q\) is placed at \(P\) in between the gap of the two magnets at a distance \(D\) from the centre \(O\) as shown in the Figure [AIPMT 2010]
The force on the charge \(Q\) is
(b) Force on a charged particle is given by \(F\) \(=q v B\). Here \(v=0\) and also resultant \(B\) is zero.
\(\therefore\) Force \(=0\)
Under the influence of a uniform magnetic field, a charged particle moves with constant speed \(v\) in a circle of radius \(R\). The time period of rotation of the particle [AIPMT 2009, 2007]
(b) For the circular motion in a cyclotron,
\(
q v B=\frac{m v^2}{r} \Rightarrow q B=m \omega=\frac{m \times 2 \pi}{T}
\)
\(\therefore \quad T=\frac{2 \pi m}{q B}\) is independent of \(v\) and \(r\).
The magnetic force acting on a charged particle of charge \(-2 \mu \mathrm{C}\) in a magnetic field of \(2T\) acting in \(y\) direction, when the particle velocity is \((2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}) \times 10^6 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\), is [AIPMT 2009]
(d) The magnetic force acting on the charged paraticle is given by
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}=\mathrm{q}(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}) \\
& \left.=\left(-2 \times 10^{-6}\right)\left[\{2 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+3 \hat{\mathrm{j}}) \times 10^6\right\} \times(2 \hat{\mathrm{j}})\right] \\
& =-4(2 \hat{\mathrm{k}}) \\
& =-8 \hat{\mathrm{k}}
\end{aligned}
\)
\(\therefore\) Force is of 8 N along negative z -axis.
A galvanometer havings a coil resistance of \(60 \Omega\) shows full scale deflection when a current of 1.0 amp passes through it. It can be converted into an ammeter to read currents upto 5.0 amp by [AIPMT 2009]
(c)
\(
\mathrm{G}=60 \Omega, {I}_{{g}}=1.0 \mathrm{~A}, {I}=5 \mathrm{~A} .
\)
Let \(S\) be the shunt resistance connected in parallel to galvanometer
\(
\begin{aligned}
& {I}_{{g}} \mathrm{G}=\left(I-{I}_{{g}}\right) {S} \\
& S=\frac{I_g G}{I-I_g}=\frac{1}{5-1} \times 60=\frac{1.0 \times 60}{4}=15 \Omega
\end{aligned}
\)
Thus by putting \(15 \Omega\) in parallel, the galvanometer can be converted into an ammeter.
A closed-loop \(P Q R S\) carrying a current is placed in a uniform magnetic field. If the magnetic forces on segments \(P S, S R\), and \(R Q\) are \(F_1, F_2\) and \(F_3\) respectively, and are in the plane of the paper and along the directions shown, then which of the following forces acts on the segment \(Q P\) ? [AIPMT 2008]
(b) According to the figure the magnitude of force on the segment \(Q M\) is \(F_3-F_1\) and PM is \({F}_2\).
Therefore, the magnitude of the force on segment PQ is \(\sqrt{\left(F_3-F_1\right)^2+F_2^2}\)
A particle of mass \(m\), charge \(Q\) and kinetic energy \(T\) enters a transverse uniform magnetic field of induction \(\vec{B}\). After 3 seconds the kinetic energy of the particle will be [AIPMT 2008]
(a) When a charged particle having a given K.E, \(T\) enters in a field of magnetic induction, which is perpendicular to its velocity, it takes a circular trajectory. It does not increase in energy, therefore \(T\) is the K.E.
A galvanometer of resistance \(50 \Omega\) is connected to a battery of 3 V along with a resistance of \(2950 \Omega\) in series. A full-scale deflection of 30 divisions is obtained in the galvanometer. In order to reduce its deflection to 20 divisions, the resistance added in series should be: [AIPMT 2008]
(d)
Current through the galvanometer
\(
I=\frac{3}{(50+2950)}=(10)^{-3} \mathrm{~A}
\)
Current for 30 divisions \(=10^{-3} \mathrm{~A}\)
Current for 20 divisions
\(
=\frac{10^{-3}}{30} \times 20=\frac{2}{3} \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~A}
\)
To obtain a deflection of 20 divisions, let resistance added be \(R\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore \frac{2}{3} \times 10^{-3}=\frac{3}{(50+R)} \\
& \text { or } R=4450 \Omega
\end{aligned}
\)
The resistance of an ammeter is \(13 \Omega\) and its scale is graduated for a current upto 100 amps . After an additional shunt has been connected to this ammeter it becomes possible to measure currents upto 750 amperes by this meter. The value of shunt-resistance is [AIPMT 2007]
(a)
Let \(i_a\) is the current flowing through ammeter and \(i\) is the total current. So, a current \(i-i_a\) will flow through shunt resistance.
Potential difference across ammeter and shunt resistance is same.
ie, \(i_a \times R=\left(i-i_a\right) \times S\)
or \(S=\frac{i_o R}{i-i_a} \dots(i)\)
Given, \(i_a=100 \mathrm{~A}, i=750 \mathrm{~A}, R=13 \Omega\)
Hence, \(S=\frac{100 \times 13}{750-100}=2 \Omega\)
If a charged particle (charge \(q\) ) is moving in a circle of radius \(R\) at a uniform speed \(v\), then the value of its associated magnetic moment \(\mu\) will be: [AIPMT 2007]
(a) As revolving charge is equivalent to a current, so
\(
I=q f=q \times \frac{\omega}{2 \pi}
\)
But \(\omega=\frac{v}{R}\)
where \(R\) is radius of circle and \(v\) is uniform speed of charged particle.
Therefore, \(I=\frac{q v}{2 \pi R}\)
Now, magnetic moment associated with charged particle is given by
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \mu=I A=I \times \pi R^2 \\
& \text { or } \mu=\frac{q v}{2 \pi R} \times \pi R^2 \\
& =\frac{1}{2} q v R
\end{aligned}
\)
In a mass spectrometer used for measuring the masses of ions, the ions are initially accelerated by an electric potential \(V\) and then made to describe semi-circular paths of radius \(R\) using a magnetic field \(B\). If \(V\) and \(B\) are kept constant, the ratio of \(\left(\frac{\text { Charge on the ion }}{\text { Mass of the ion }}\right)\) will be proportional to: [AIPMT 2007]
(b) The radius of the orbit in which ions moving \(R=\frac{m v}{q B}\)
The angluar frequency of rotation of the ions about the vertical field \(B\) is given by
\(
\omega=\frac{v}{R}=\frac{q B}{m}=2 \pi v
\)
where \(v\) is frerquency.
Energy of ion is given by
\(
E=\frac{1}{2} m v^2=\frac{1}{2} m(R \omega)^2=\frac{1}{2} m R^2 B^2 \frac{q^2}{m^2}
\)
or \(E=\frac{1}{2} \frac{R^2 B^2 q^2}{m} \dots(i)\)
If ions are accelerated by electric potental \(V\), then energy attained by ions
\(
E=q V \dots(ii)
\)
From Eqs. (i) and (ii) and get
\(
\begin{aligned}
& q V=\frac{1}{2} \frac{R^2 B^2 q^2}{m} \\
& \text { or } \frac{q}{m}=\frac{2 V}{R^2 B^2}
\end{aligned}
\)
If \(V\) and \(B\) are kept constant, then \(\frac{q}{m} \propto \frac{1}{R^2}\)
A beam of electrons passes un-deflected through mutually perpendicular electric and magnetic fields. Where do the electrons move if the electric field is switched off and the same magnetic field is maintained? [AIPMT 2007]
(b) If both electric and magnetic fields are present and perpendicular to each other and the particle is moving perpendicular to both of
them with \(F_e=F_m\). In this situation \(\vec{E} \neq 0\) and \(\vec{B} \neq 0\)
But if electric field becomes zero, then only force due to magnetic field axists. Under this force, the charge moves along a circle.
Note: If the electric field is switched off, and the same magnetic field is maintained, the electrons move in a circular orbit and electron will travel a magnetic field perpendicular to its velocity.
When a charged particle with velocity \(\vec{v}\) is subjected to an induction magnetic field \(\vec{B}\), the force on it is non-zero. What does this imply? [AIPMT 2006]
(c) Force acting on a charged particle moving with velocity \(\vec{v}\) is subjected to magnetic field \(\vec{B}\) is given by
\(
\vec{F}=q(\vec{v} \times \vec{B}) \quad \text { or } \quad \quad F=q v B \sin \theta
\)
(i) When \(\theta=0^{\circ}, F=q v B \sin 0^{\circ}=0\)
(ii) When \(\theta=90^{\circ}, F=q v B \sin 90^{\circ}=q v B\)
(iii) When \(\theta=180^{\circ}, F=q v B \sin 180^{\circ}=0\)
This implies force acting on a charged particle is nonzero, when angle between \(\vec{v}\) and \(\vec{B}\) can have any value other than zero and \(180^{\circ}\).
Two circular coils 1 and 2 are made from the same wire but the radius of the \(1^{\text {st }}\) coil is twice that of the \(2^{\text {nd }}\) coil. What is the ratio of the potential difference applied across them so that the magnetic field at their centres is the same? [AIPMT 2006]
(b) 1. Define the Radii:
Let the radius of coil 2 be \(r\). Then, the radius of coil 1 will be \(r_1=2 r\).
2. Magnetic Field Formula:
The magnetic field \(B\) at the center of a circular coil carrying current \(I\) is given by the formula:
\(
B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 R}
\)
where \(R\) is the radius of the coil.
3. Magnetic Fields for Both Coils:
For coil 1:
\(
B_1=\frac{\mu_0 I_1}{2 r_1}=\frac{\mu_0 I_1}{4 r}
\)
For coil 2:
\(
B_2=\frac{\mu_0 I_2}{2 r_2}=\frac{\mu_0 I_2}{2 r}
\)
4. Setting the Magnetic Fields Equal:
Since we want the magnetic fields at the centers of both coils to be equal:
\(
B_1=B_2
\)
This gives us:
\(
\frac{\mu_0 I_1}{4 r}=\frac{\mu_0 I_2}{2 r}
\)
Simplifying this, we can cancel \(\mu_0\) and \(r\) :
\(
\frac{I_1}{4}=\frac{I_2}{2}
\)
Cross-multiplying leads to:
\(
I_1=2 I_2
\)
5. Resistance of the Coils:
The resistance \(R\) of a wire is given by:
\(
R=\frac{\rho L}{A}
\)
Since both coils are made from the same wire, the total length of the wire is the same. The length of wire for coil 1 is \(L_1=2 \pi r_1=4 \pi r\) and for coil 2 is
\(
L_2=2 \pi r_2=2 \pi r
\)
6. Resistance of Each Coil:
The resistance for coil 1 :
\(
R_1=\frac{\rho(4 \pi r)}{A}
\)
The resistance for coil 2 :
\(
R_2=\frac{\rho(2 \pi r)}{A}
\)
7. Applying Ohm’s Law:
The potential difference \(V\) across a coil is given by Ohm’s law:
\(
V=I R
\)
For coill:
\(
V_1=I_1 R_1=I_1\left(\frac{\rho(4 \pi r)}{A}\right)
\)
For coil 2:
\(
V_2=I_2 R_2=I_2\left(\frac{\rho(2 \pi r)}{A}\right)
\)
8. Finding the Ratio of Potential Differences:
Now, substituting \(I_1=2 I_2\) into the equations for \(V_1\) and \(V_2\) :
\(
\begin{aligned}
& V_1=\left(2 I_2\right)\left(\frac{\rho(4 \pi r)}{A}\right)=\frac{8 \pi \rho r I_2}{A} \\
& V_2=I_2\left(\frac{\rho(2 \pi r)}{A}\right)=\frac{2 \pi \rho r I_2}{A}
\end{aligned}
\)
Now, taking the ratio:
\(
\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{\frac{8 \pi \rho I_2}{A}}{\frac{2 \pi \rho \rho I_2}{A}}=\frac{8}{2}=4
\)
Final Answer:
The ratio of potential differences applied across the two coils is:
\(
\frac{V_1}{V_2}=4: 1
\)
A coil in the shape of an equilateral triangle of side \(l\) is suspended between the pole pieces of a permanent magnet such that \(\vec{B}\) is in the plane of the coil. If due to a current \(i\) in the triangle, a torque \(\tau\) acts on it, the side \(l\) of the triangle will be: [AIPMT 2005]
(c) The current flowing clockwise in an equilateral triangle has a magnetic field in the direction of \(\hat{k}\).
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \tau=B i N A \sin \theta \\
& \tau=B i N A \sin 90^{\circ}
\end{aligned}
\)
Area of equilateral triangle \(A=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} i^2, N=1\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \tau=B i\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} i^2\right) \\
& i^2=\left(\frac{4 \tau}{\sqrt{3 B i}}\right) \\
& i=\left(\frac{4 \tau}{\sqrt{3 B i}}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}=2\left(\frac{\tau}{\sqrt{3 B i}}\right)^{1 / 2}
\end{aligned}
\)
A very long straight wire carries a current \(I\). At the instant when a charge \(+Q\) at point \(P\) has velocity \(\overrightarrow{\mathbf{v}}\), as shown, the force on the charge is [AIPMT 2005]
(c) According to Fleming’s left hand rule direction of force is along \(O y\) axis which is perpendicular to wire.
\(
\vec{F}=e(\vec{v} \times \vec{B}) .
\)
\(B\) due to \(i\) is acting inwards \(i . e.\), into the paper. \(v\) is along \(O x\).
\(
\therefore \quad F=Q^{+}\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
\hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\
v & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & -B
\end{array}\right| \Rightarrow F=Q^{+}[-\hat{j}(-v B)+0]
\)
\(
\therefore \quad \vec{F}=+Q v B \hat{j} . \text { i.e. in } O y \text { direction. }
\)
An electron moves in a circular orbit with a uniform speed \(v\). It produces a magnetic field \(B\) at the centre of the circle. The radius of the circle is proportional to: [AIPMT 2005]
(a)
\(
\begin{aligned}
&\text { The magnetic field produce by moving electron in circular path }\\
&\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{B}=\frac{\mu_0 i}{2 r} \\
& \text { and } {i}=\frac{q}{2 \pi r} \times v \\
& \therefore \mathrm{~B}=\frac{\mu_0 q v}{4 \pi r^2} \\
& \Rightarrow \mathrm{r} \propto \sqrt{\frac{v}{B}}
\end{aligned}
\end{aligned}

A galvanometer of \(50 \Omega\) resistance has 25 divisions. A current of \(4 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~A}\) gives a deflection of one division. To convert this galvanometer into a voltmeter having a range of 25 V , it should be connected with a resistance of: [AIPMT 2004]
(c) The total current shown by the galvanometer
\(
\begin{aligned}
& =25 \times 4 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~A} \\
& I_g=10^{-2} \mathrm{~A}
\end{aligned}
\)
The value of resistance connected in series to convert galvanometer into voltmeter of 25 V is
\(
R=\frac{V}{I_g}-G=\frac{25}{10^{-2}}-50=2450 \Omega
\)
What properties will a galvanometer that is acting as a voltmeter have? [AIPMT 2004, 2002]
(a) The resistance of coil of galvanometer of its own is low, hence to convert a galvanometer into a voltmeter, its resistance is to be increased. For this an appropriate high resistance is joined in sereis with the galvanometre as shown in the figure. The value of this resistance to be connected depends on the range of the voltmeter.
To convert a galvanometer into a voltmeter one should connect a [AIPMT 2004, 2002]
(a) For converting galvanometer to voltmeter, a high resistance should be connected in series with galvanometer.
A charged particle moves through a magnetic field in a direction perpendicular to it. Then the [AIPMT 2003]
(a) If a moving charged particle is subjected to a perpendicular uniform magnetic field, then according to \(F=q v B \sin \theta\), it will experience a maximum force which will provide the centripetal force to particle and it will describe a circular path with uniform speed.
Note: Magnetic force acts perpendicular to the velocity. Hence speed remains constant.
A long solenoid carrying a current produces a magnetic field \(B\) along its axis. If the current is doubled and the number of turns per cm is halved, what will be the new value of the magnetic field? [AIPMT 2003]
(b) Magnetic field induction atporint inside the solenoid of length \(l\), having \(n\) türns per unit length carrying current \(i\) is given by
\(
B=\mu_0 n i
\)
If \(i \rightarrow\) doubled \(_s n \rightarrow\) halved then \(B \rightarrow\) remains same.
\(
B_1=\left(\mu_0\right)\left(\frac{n}{2}\right)(2 i)=\mu_0 n i=B
\)
If a charge ‘ \(q\) ‘ moves with velocity \(v\), in a region where electric field \((\boldsymbol{E})\) and magnetic field (B) both exist, then force on it is: [AIPMT 2002]
(b) The force experienced by a charged particle moving in space where electric and magnetic field exists is called Lorentz force.
\(
\begin{aligned}
&\text { Lorentz force }\\
&\begin{aligned}
& \overrightarrow{F_L}=\overrightarrow{F_e}+\overrightarrow{F_m} \\
& =q \vec{E}+q(\vec{v} \times \vec{B})
\end{aligned}
\end{aligned}
\)
Alternate:
Force due to electric field \(=q \vec{E}\)
Force due to magnetic field \(=q(\vec{v} \times \vec{B})\)
Net force experienced \(=q \vec{E}+q(\vec{v} \times \stackrel{\rightharpoonup}{B})\)
The magnetic field of a given length of wire for a single-turn coil at its centre is \(B\). Its value for two turns coil for the same wire will be: [AIPMT 2002]
(c) Let \(I\) be current and \(l\) be the length of the wire.
For Ist case : \(B=\frac{\mu_0 I n}{2 r}=\frac{\mu_0 I \times \pi}{l}\) where \(2 \pi r=l\) and \(n=1\)
For IInd Case : \(l=2\left(2 \pi r^{\prime}\right) \Rightarrow r^{\prime}=\frac{l}{4 \pi}\)
\(
B^{\prime}=\frac{\mu_0 n I}{2 r^{\prime}}=\frac{\mu_0 2 I}{2 \frac{l}{4 \pi}}=\frac{4 \mu_0 I \pi}{l}=4 B

The tangent galvanometer is used to measure: [AIPMT 2001]
(b)Â A tangent galvanometer is an instrument used to measure the current in a circuit. It works on the principle that the deflection of a magnetic needle is proportional to the current passing through a coil in a magnetic field. The deflection is measured in terms of the angle, and the current is determined using the tangent of that angle.
Explanation:
The galvanometer consists of a coil of wire mounted on a horizontal axis, with a compass needle at the center. When a current passes through the coil, it generates a magnetic field that interacts with the needle, causing it to deflect.
The amount of deflection \((\theta)\) is related to the current \((I)\) passing through the coil by the equation:
\(
\tan (\theta)=\frac{k I}{H}
\)
where:
\(\theta\) is the angle of deflection,
\(\boldsymbol{k}\) is a constant that depends on the geometry of the galvanometer,
\(H\) is the horizontal component of the Earth’s magnetic field,
\(I\) is the current to be measured.
In a certain region of space electric field \(\vec{E}\) and magnetic field \(\vec{B}\) are perpendicular to each other and an electron enters in region perpendicular to the direction of \(\vec{B}\) and \(\vec{E}\) both and moves undeflected, then velocity of electron is [AIPMT 2001]
(b) Electron moves undeflected if force exerted due to electric field is equal to force due to magnetic field.
\(
q|\vec{v} \| \vec{B}|=q|\vec{E}| \Rightarrow|\vec{v}|=\frac{|\vec{E}|}{|\vec{B}|}
\)
An electron having mass \(m\) and kinetic energy \(E\) enter in uniform magnetic field \(B\) perpendicularly, then its frequency will be [AIPMT 2001]
(c) The frequency of revolution of charged particle in a perpendicular magnetic field is

\begin{aligned}
& f=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{\frac{2 \pi r}{v}}=\frac{v}{2 \pi r} \\
& =\frac{v}{2 \pi} \times \frac{e B}{m v}=\frac{e B}{2 \pi m}

For the adjoining figure, the magnetic field at a point ‘ P ‘ will be: [AIPMT 2000]

A proton moving with a velocity \(3 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) enters a magnetic field of 0.3 tesla at an angle of \(30^{\circ}\) with the field. The radius of curvature of its path will be ( \(\mathrm{e} / \mathrm{m}\) for proton \(=10^8 \mathrm{C} / \mathrm{kg}\) ) [AIPMT 2000]
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \text { (b) } r=\frac{m v \sin \theta}{B e}=\frac{3 \times 10^5 \sin 30^{\circ}}{0.3 \times 10^8} \\
& \frac{3 \times 10^5 \times \frac{1}{2}}{3 \times 10^7}=0.5 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~m}=0.5 \mathrm{~cm} .
\end{aligned}
\)
Note: If the change particle is moving perpendicular to the magnetic field then \(q V B=\frac{m v^2}{r}\)
\(
\Rightarrow r=\frac{m v}{q B}
\)
If the charge particle is moving at an, angle (other than \(0^{\circ}, 90^{\circ}, 180^{\circ}\) ) to the field, then
\(
q(v \sin \theta) B=\frac{m(v \sin \theta)^2}{r} \Rightarrow r=\frac{m v \sin \theta}{q B}

Two identically charged particles \(A\) and \(B\) initially at rest, are accelerated by a common potential difference \(V\). They enter into a transverse uniform magnetic field \(B\). If they describe a circular path of radii \(r_1\) and \(r_2\) respectively, then their mass ratio is: [AIPMT 1999]
(a) Given : Two charged particles \(A\) & \(B\) at rest ; potential difference \(=V\);
\(

Let radius of A and b be \(r_1\) and \(r_2\) and

If a long hollow copper pipe carries a current, then magnetic field is produced [AIPMT 1999]
(b) Inside a hollow pipe carrying current, the magnetic field is zero, since according to Ampere’s law, \(B_i \cdot 2 \pi r=\mu_0 \times 0 \Rightarrow B_i=0\).
But for external points, the current behaves as if it was concentrated at the axis only; so, outside, \(B_0=\frac{\mu_0 i}{2 \pi r}\). Thus, the magnetic field is produced outside the pipe only.
A straight wire of diameter 0.5 mm carrying a current of 1 A is replaced by another wire of 1 mm diameter carrying same current. The strength of magnetic field far away is [AIPMT 1999, 1997, 1995]
(b) Diameter of first wire \(\left(d_1\right)=0.5 \mathrm{~mm}\); Current in first wire \(\left(I_1\right)=1 \mathrm{~A}\); Diameter of second wire \(\left(d_2\right)=1 \mathrm{~mm}\) and current in second wire \(\left(I_2\right)=1 \mathrm{~A}\). Strength of magnetic field due to current flowing in a conductor, \((B)=\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \times \frac{2 I}{a}\) or \(B \propto I\).
Since the current in both the wires is same, therefore there is no change in the strength of the magnetic field.

A coil of one turn is made of a wire of certain length and then from the same length a coil of two turns is made. If the same current is passed in both the cases, then the ratio of the magnetic inductions at their centres will be [AIPMT 1998]

(c) Area \((A)=0.01 \mathrm{~m}^2\); Current \((I)=10 \mathrm{~A}\);
Angle \((\phi)=90^{\circ}\) and magnetic field \((B)=0.1 \mathrm{~T}\).
Therefore acutal angle \(\theta=\left(90^{\circ}-\phi\right)=\left(90^{\circ}-90^{\circ}\right)=0^{\circ}\).
And torque acting on the loop \((\tau)=I A B \sin \theta\)
\(

A charge moving with velocity v in X -direction is subjected to a field of magnetic induction in negative \(X\)-direction. As a result, the charge will [AIPMT 1993]
(a) The force acting on a charged particle in magnetic field is given by

When \(r\) is doubled, the magnetic field becomes halved \(i. e\), now the magnetic field will be 0.2 T.
A uniform magnetic field acts at right angles to the direction of motion of electron. As a result, the electron moves in a circular path of radius 2 cm . If the speed of electron is doubled, then the radius of the circular path will be [AIPMT 1991]

\)
For deuteron, \(E_1=\frac{B^2 q^2 r^2}{2 \times 2 m}\)
For proton, \(E_2=\frac{B^2 q^2 r^2}{2 m}\)
