A particle of mass m and charge q , moving with velocity v enters...
A particle of mass and charge , moving with velocity enters Region II normal to the boundary as shown in the figure. Region II has a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of the paper. The length of the Region II is . Choose the correct choice(s)

Options
- AThe particle enters Region III only if its velocity
- BThe particle enters Region III only if its velocity
- CPath length of the particle in Region II is maximum when velocity
- DTime spent in Region II is same for any velocity as long as the particle returns to Region I
Correct answer
A. The particle enters Region III only if its velocity
Step-by-step solution
in region II. Therefore, path of particle is circle in region II. Particle enters in region III if, radius of circular path, or or
If , particle will turn back and path length will be maximum as shown in figure in region II. If particle returns to region I, time spent in region II will be , which is independent of .
correct options are (a), (c) and (d).
