An electron is travelling along the $x$-direction. It encounters a magnetic field in the $y$-direction. Its subsequent motion will be
AStraight line along the $x$-direction
BA circle in the $xz$-plane
CA circle in the $yz$-plane
DA circle in the $xy$-plane

BA circle in the $xz$-plane
b (b) $\overrightarrow F = - e(\overrightarrow v \times \overrightarrow B )$ $==>$ $\overrightarrow F = - e[v\hat i \times B\hat j] = evB[ - \hat k]$
i.e. Force on electron is acting towards negative $z$-axis. Hence particle will move on a circle in $xz$-plane.

An electron is the ground state of hydrogen atom is revolving in anticlockwise direction in a circular orbit of radius $'r'$. The atom is placed is a unifom magnetic field $B$ in such a way magnetic moment of orbital electron makes an angle $30^o$ with the magnetic field. The torque experienced by orbital electon is
Two long straight wires, each carrying a current $I$ in opposite direction are seperated by a distance $R$ . The magnetic induction at a point midway between the wire is
At $t$ = $0$, a positively charged particle of mass $m$ is projected from the origin with velocity $u_0$ at an angle $37^o $ from the $x-$axis as shown in the figure. A constant magnetic field ${\vec B_0} = {B_0}\hat j$ is present in space. After a time interval $t_0$ velocity of particle may be:-
A current $i$ ampere flows in a circular arc of wire whose radius is $R$, which subtend an angle $3\pi /2$ radian at its centre. The magnetic induction at the centre is
A galvanometer whose resistance is $120\,\Omega $ gives full scale deflection with a current of $0.05\, A$ so that it can read a maximum current of $10\, A$. A shunt resistance is added in parallel with it. The resistance of the ammeter so formed is .............. $\Omega $
