(b) When the plane of coil is in $\mathrm{N}$ $-S$ vertical plane and current is passed in clockwise direction, the magnetic field at the centre of coil due to current is directed East to West. Earth's magnetic fleld is south to North.

since the magnetic needle will be in the direction of resultant magnetic field, which will be in the $west-north$ direction.

    Assertion : A proton and an alpha particle having the same kinetic energy are moving in circular paths in a uniform magnetic field. The radii of their circular paths will be equal.

    Reason : Any two charged particles having equal kinetic energies and entering a region of uniform magnetic field $\overrightarrow B $ in a direction perpendicular to $\overrightarrow B $, will describe circular trajectories of equal radii.
