A particle of mass m\text{m} and charge q\text{q} travelling with a velocity v\text{v} along the X-axis enters a uniform electric field E→\overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}} directed along the Y\mathrm{Y}-axis. What will be the trajectory of the particle?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Parabolic
Option C (Parabolic) is correct because the particle experiences constant acceleration in the Y-direction while maintaining constant velocity in the X-direction, resulting in a parabolic trajectory.

A neutron, a proton and an electron are placed in a uniform electric field.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Magnitude of acceleration will be different.
Option D (Magnitude of acceleration will be different) is correct because the forces on the proton and electron are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction, and their masses are different, leading to different accelerations.

A positively charged ball hangs from a silk thread. We put positive test charge q0q_0 at a point and measure F/q0,F / q_0, then it can be predicted that the electric field strength E{E}
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
>F/q0> F / {q}_0

Assertion(A): In an uniform magnetic field,
speed and kinetic energy remains the same
for a moving charged particle.

Reason (R): In the case of motion of a charge
in a magnetic field, the magnetic force is
perpendicular to the velocity of the particle.
So, no work is done and no change in the
magnitude of the velocity (speed) and
kinetic energy is produced.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Both A and R are true and R is the
correct explanation of A
Option A is correct because the magnetic force on a moving charged particle in a uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to its velocity, resulting in no work done and constant speed and kinetic energy.
