If instead of electron a neutron enters a field, what will be its direction of motion? Give reasons for your answer.

(a)A monoenergetic electron beam with electron speed of is subject to a magnetic field of normal to the beam velocity. What is the radius of the circle traced by the beam, given for electron equals .
(b)Is the formula you employ in (a) valid for calculating radius of the path of a electron beam? If not, in what way is it modified?

Answer the following question:
Interstellar space has an extremely weak magnetic field of the order of . Can such a weak field be of any significant consequence? Explain.

A magnetic field set up using Helmholtz coils is uniform in a small region and has a magnitude of . In the same region, a uniform electrostatic field is maintained in a direction normal to the common axis of the coils. A narrow beam of (single species) charged particles all accelerated through enters this region in a direction perpendicular to both the axis of the coils and the electrostatic field. If the beam remains undeflected when the electrostatic field is , make a simple guess as to what the beam contains. Why is the answer not unique?

A charged particle enters an environment of a strong and non-uniform magnetic field varying from point to point both in magnitude and direction and comes out of it following a complicated trajectory. Would its final speed equal the initial speed if it suffered no collisions with the environment?

A magnetic field that varies in magnitude from point to point but has a constant direction (east to west) is set up in a chamber. A charged particle enters the chamber and travels undeflected along a straight path with constant speed. What can you say about the initial velocity of the particle?
