An ionized gas contains both positive and negative ions. If it is subjected simultaneously to an electric field along the + x-direction and a magnetic field along the +z-direction, then

An infinitely long conductor PQR is bent to form a right angle as shown in figure. A current I flows through PQR. The magnetic field due to this current at the point M is $H_1$. Now, another infinitely long straight conductor QS is connected at Q, so that current is I/2 in QR as well as in QS, the current in PQ remaining unchanged. The magnetic field at M is now $H_2.$ The ratio $H_1 /H_2$ is given by

A monoatomic ideal gas, initially at temperature $T_1$, is enclosed in a cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston. The gas is allowed to expand adiabatically to a temperature T$_2$ by releasing the piston suddenly. If L$_1$ and L$_2$ are the lengths of the gas column before and after expansion respectively, then $T_1 / T_2$ is given by
