Answer the following questions: (a) A magnetic field that varies in magnitude from point but has a constant direction (east to west) is set up in a chamber. A charged particle enters the chamber and travles undeflected along a straight path with constant speed. What can you say about the initial velocity of the particle? (b) A charged particle enters an environment of a strong and non-uniform magnetic field varying from point to point both in magnitude and direction, and comes out of it following a complicated trajectory. Would its final speed equal the initial speed if it suffered no collisions with the environment? (c) An electron travelling west to east enters a chamber having a uniform electrostatic field in north to south direction. Specify the direction in which a uniform magnetic field should be set up to prevent the electron from deflecting from its straight line path.

Answer» The magnetic field is in constant direction from east to west. According to the question, a charged particle travels undeflected along a straight path with constant speed. It is only possible, if the magnetic force experienced by the charged particle is zero. The magnitude of magnetic force on a moving charged particle in a magnetic field is given by `F=qvB sin theta`. Here F=0, if and only if `sin theta`. This indicates the angle between the velocity and magnetic fied is `0^(@)" or "180^(@)`. Thus, the charged particle moves parallel or antiparallel to the magnetic field B.
