Q.29 An electron is moving along the positive
x-axis, you want to apply a magnetic field for
a short time so that the electron may reverse
its direction and move parallel to the negative
x-axis. This can be done by applying the
magnetic field along –
(A) Y-axis (B) Z-axis
(C) Y- axis only (D) Z-axis only
Q.30 H+, He+ and O+2 all having the same kinetic
energy pass through a region in which there is a
uniform magnetic field perpendicular to their
velocity. The masses of H+, He+ and O+2 are 1
amu, 4 amu and 16 amu respectively, then-
(A) H+ will be deflected most
(B) O+2 will be deflected most
(C) H+ and O+2 will be deflected equally
(D) All will be deflected equally
Q.31 In a region of space, a uniform magnetic field
B exists in the y-direction. A proton is fired
from the origin, with its initial velocity v
making a small angle  with the y-direction
in the y-z plane. In the subsequent motion of
the proton –

(A) its x-coordinate can never be positive
(B) its x-and z-coordinates cannot both be
zero at the same time
(C) its z-coordinate can never be negative
(D) its y-coordinate will be proportional to
the square of its time of flight
Part-C Assertion & Reason Type Questions
The following questions consists of two
statements each, printed as Assertion and
Reason. While answering these questions you
responses.
(A) If both Assertion and Reason are true
and the Reason is correct explanation
of the Assertion.
(B) If both Assertion and Reason are true
but Reason is not correct explanation
of the Assertion.
(C) If Assertion is true but the Reason is
false.
(D) If Assertion is false but Reason is true.
Q.32 Assertion : If an electron while coming
vertically from outer space enter the earth’s
magnetic field, it is deflected towards west.
Reason : Electron has negative charge.
Q.33 Assertion : If a charged particle is moving in
uniform magnetic field, no work is done.
Reason : Displacement of the particle is zero.
Q.34 Assertion : If a charged particle is moving on
a circular path in a perpendicular magnetic
field, the momentum of the particle is not
changing.
Reason : Speed of the particle is not changing
in magnetic field.
Q.35 Assertion : If a proton and an - particle enter a
uniform magnetic field perpendicularly, with
the same speed, then time period of revolution
of the -particle is double than that of proton.
proportional to mass of particle and is
inversely proportional to charge of particle.
Q.36 Assertion : In a conductor, free electrons
keep on moving but no magnetic force acts on
a conductor in a magnetic field.
Reason : Force on free electron due to
magnetic field always acts perpendicular to
its direction of motion.
