In a region, steady and uniform electric and magnetic fields are present. These two fields are parallel to each other. A charged particle is released from rest in this region. The path of the particle will be a
Show Hint
- helix
- straight line
- ellipse
- circle
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: If the electric and magnetic fields are parallel, the force on the charged particle due to the electric field will be in the same direction as the magnetic force.
Step 2: Since both forces act in the same direction, the charged particle will experience a uniform force, causing it to accelerate in a straight line.

- A small spherical shell \( S_1 \) has point charges \( q_1 = -3 \, \mu C \), \( q_2 = -2 \, \mu C \) and \( q_3 = 9 \, \mu C \) inside it. This shell is enclosed by another big spherical shell \( S_2 \). A point charge \( Q \) is placed in between the two surfaces \( S_1 \) and \( S_2 \). If the electric flux through the surface \( S_2 \) is four times the flux through surface \( S_1 \), find charge \( Q \).

- A particle of mass \( m \) and charge \( q \) is fastened to one end \( A \) of a massless string having equilibrium length \( l \), whose other end is fixed at point \( O \). The whole system is placed on a frictionless horizontal plane and is initially at rest. If a uniform electric field is switched on along the direction as shown in the figure, then the speed of the particle when it crosses the x-axis is:

As shown below, bob A of a pendulum having massless string of length \( R \) is released from \( 60^\circ \) to the vertical. It hits another bob B of half the mass that is at rest on a frictionless table in the center. Assuming elastic collision, the magnitude of the velocity of bob A after the collision will be (take \( g \) as acceleration due to gravity):
