Correct Answer: 5
Solution and Explanation
A species is paramagnetic if it has unpaired electrons:
- \( O_2 \) (paramagnetic) ✅
- \( O_2^+ \) (paramagnetic) ✅
- \( O_2^- \) (paramagnetic) ✅
- \( NO \) (paramagnetic) ✅
- \( NO_2 \) (paramagnetic) ✅
- \( CO \) (diamagnetic) ❌
- \( [Co(NH_3)_6]Cl_3 \) (diamagnetic) ❌
- \( K_2[Ni(CN)_4] \) (diamagnetic) ❌
Total paramagnetic species = 5.

- 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
