    A thin stiff insulated metal wire is bent into a circular loop with its two ends extending tangentially from the same point of the loop. The wire loop has mass $m$ and radius $r$ and it is in a uniform vertical magnetic field $B_0$, as shown in the figure. Initially, it hangs vertically downwards, because of acceleration due to gravity $g$, on two conducting supports at $P$ and $Q$. When a current $/$ is passed through the loop, the loop turns about the line $P Q$ by an angle $\theta$ given by

    An electron enters the space between the plates of a charged capacitor as shown. The charge density on the plate is $\sigma $. Electric intensity in the space between the plates is $E$. A uniform magnetic field $B$ also exists in that space perpendicular to the direction of $E$. The electron moves perpendicular to both $\vec E$ and $\vec B$ without any change in direction. The time taken by the electron to travel a distance $\ell $ is the space is

    An electron, moving along the $x-$ axis with an initial energy of $100\, eV$, enters a region of magnetic field $\vec B = (1.5\times10^{-3}T)\hat k$ at $S$ (See figure). The field extends between $x = 0$ and $x = 2\, cm$. The electron is detected at the point $Q$ on a screen placed $8\, cm$ away from the point $S$. The distance $d$ between $P$ and $Q$ (on the screen) is :......$cm$ (electron's charge $= 1.6\times10^{-19}\, C$, mass of electron $= 9.1\times10^{-31}\, kg$)
