Important Questions on Magnetic Field Due to a Current Element, Biot-Savart Law

HARD
IMPORTANT

An electron and a positron are released from (0, 0, 0) and (0, 0, 1.5 R) respectively, in a uniform magnetic field B=B i^, each with an equal momentum of magnitude p=e B R. Under what conditions on the direction of momentum will the orbits be non-intersecting circles?

IMPORTANT

A 100 turn rectangular coil ABCD (in XY plane) is hung from one arm of a balance (Fig). A mass 500g is added to the other arm to balance the weight of the coil. A current 4.9 A passes through the coil and a constant magnetic field of 0.2 T acting inward (in xz plane) is switched on such that only arm CD of length 1 cm lies in the field. How much additional mass m must be added to regain the balance?

A current carrying circular loop of radius R is placed in the x-y plane with centre at the origin. Half of the loop with x>0 is now bent so that it now lies in the y-z plane.

Biot-Savart law indicates that the moving electrons (velocity v) produce a magnetic field B such that
