$S = \frac{{{i_g} \times G}}{{i - {i_g}}} = \frac{{10 \times {{10}^{ - 3}} \times 50}}{{1 - {{10}^{ - 3}} \times 10}} = \frac{{50}}{{99}}\,\Omega $ in parallel.

    In the xy-plane, the region $y >0$ has a uniform magnetic field $B_1 \hat{k}$ and the region $y<0$ has another uniform magnetic field $B_2 \hat{k}$. A positively charged particle is projected from the origin along the positive $y$-axis with speed $v _0=\pi m s ^{-1}$ at $t =0$, as shown in the figure. Neglect gravity in this problem. Let $t = T$ be the time when the particle crosses the $x$-axis from below for the first time. If $B_2=4 B_1$, the average speed of the particle, in $m s ^{-1}$, along the $x$-axis in the time interval $T$ is. . . . . .
