A$eVB\,\hat k$, $ABCD$
a (a) As the block is of metal, the charge carriers are electrons, so for current along positive $x-$axis, the electrons are moving along negative $x$-axis, i.e. $\overrightarrow {v\,} = - \,v\hat i$
and as the magnetic field is along the $y$-axis, i.e. $\overrightarrow B = B\hat j$
so $\overrightarrow F = q(\overrightarrow {v\,} \times \overrightarrow B )$ for this case yield $\overrightarrow F = ( - \,e)[ - v\hat i \times B\hat j)]$
i.e., $\overrightarrow F = evB\hat k$ [As $\hat i \times \hat j = \hat k$]
As force on electrons is towards the face $ABCD$, the electrons will accumulate on it an hence it will acquire lower potential.

A shunt of resistance $1\,\Omega $ is connected across a galvanometer of $120\,\Omega $ resistance. A current of $5.5\, ampere$ gives full scale deflection in the galvanometer. The current that will give full scale deflection in the absence of the shunt is nearly ............... $ampere$
The number of turns per unit length of a long solenoid is $10$ . If its average radius is $5 \,cm$ and it carries a current of $10 \,A$, then the ratio of flux densities obtained at the centre and at the end on the axis will be

A particle of charge $16\times10^{-16}\, C$ moving with velocity $10\, ms^{-1}$ along $x-$ axis enters a region where 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 $x-$ axis, the magnitude of $\vec B$ is
An electron with kinetic energy $5 \mathrm{eV}$ enters a region of uniform magnetic field of $3 \mu \mathrm{T}$ perpendicular to its direction.
