Question
When a proton is released from rest in a room, it starts with an initial acceleration $a_0$ towards west. When it is projected towards north with a speed $v_0,$ it moves with an initial acceleration $3a_0$ towards west. Find the electric field and the maximum possible magnetic field in the room.

Answer

$\text{q}_\text{p}=\text{e},\ \text{mp}=\text{m},\ \text{F}=\text{q}_\text{p}\times\text{E}$
$\text{ma}_0=\text{eE}$
$\text{E}=\frac{\text{ma}_0}{\text{e}}$ towards west

The acceleration changes from $a_0$ to $3a_0$​​​​​​​
Hence net acceleration produced by magnetic field $\overrightarrow{\text{B}}$ is $2a_0.$
Force due to magnetic field
$\overrightarrow{\text{F}}_\text{B}=\text{m}\times2\text{a}_0=\text{e}\times\text{V}_0\times\text{B}$
$\Rightarrow\text{B}=\frac{2\text{ma}_0}{\text{eV}_0}$ downwards

Determine the 'effective focal length' of the combination of the two lenses having focal lengths $30 \ cm$ and $-20\ cm$ if they are placed $8.0 \ cm$ apart with their principal axes coincident. Does the answer depend on which side of the combination a beam of parallel light is incident? Is the notion of effective focal length of this system useful at all?
