(i) A rectangular loop of sides \( l \) and \( b \) carries a current \( I \) clockwise. Write the magnetic moment \( \vec{m} \) of the loop and show its direction in a diagram.
(ii) The loop is placed in a uniform magnetic field \( \vec{B} \) and is free to rotate about an axis which is perpendicular to \( \vec{B} \). Prove that the loop experiences no net force, but a torque \( \vec{\tau} = \vec{m} \times \vec{B} \).

A particle of charge \( q \) is moving with a velocity \( \vec{v} \) at a distance \( d \) from a long straight wire carrying a current \( I \) as shown in the figure. At this instant, it is subjected to a uniform electric field \( \vec{E} \) such that the particle keeps moving undeviated. In terms of unit vectors \( \hat{i}, \hat{j}, \) and \( \hat{k} \), find:
the magnetic field \( \vec{B} \),
the magnetic force \( \vec{F}_m \), and
the electric field \( \vec{E} \) acting on the charge.

A charged particle is moving in a circular path with velocity \( \vec{V} \) in a uniform magnetic field \( \vec{B} \). It is made to pass through a sheet of lead and as a consequence, it loses one-half of its kinetic energy without change in its direction. How will:
1. the radius of its path change? 2. its time period of revolution change?
