1. A neutral sub-atomic particle at rest in a magnetic field of flux density B.

It spontaneously
decays into two particles of mass m1 and m2 each. One of the particles has a negative
charge -q. The particles move with velocities perpendicular to the magnetic field. After what
time will the particles collide, if:
a. m1 = m2 = m
b. m1 = 2m and m2 = m

2. A particle of mass m and charge +q, enters the region uniform magnetic field B exists in a
circular region of radius R radially with velocity v.
a. Determine the time spent by the particle inside the region of magnetic field
b. If the charge is –q, what will the answer be?

3. A light rectangular wire frame ABCD is used as a current balance. It has the following
dimensions:
AB = CD = 6.0 cm
BC = DA = 15.0 cm
The wire frame is pivoted such that the pivot is 8.0 cm from AB, and 7.0 cm from CD. A 2.0 g
mass is attached to CD. Side AB is entirely immersed in a uniform horizontal magnetic field B
which is perpendicular to AB, as shown in the diagram below
 A current of 3.0 A flows through the wire frame, and as the result, the frame is found to
come to a
rest in the horizontal orientation.
a. State the direction (AB or BA) of the current.
b. Calculate the magnetic field, B.
c. Explain why such a current balance cannot be used to measure the strength of a magnetic
field that is not horizontal.

4. A circular coil of radius R, moving in xy plane with a constant velocity v0 to the positive X
axis, enters the magnetic field B0 into the page. The magnetic field is present only in the
region 0 ≤ x ≤ 5R. At time t = 0, the coil just touches the y-axis as shown. The position of the
coil at time t is shown. The resistance of the coil is r. At time t, the coil is represented by
dotted line.

a. At the time of t, find the magnetic flux linkage!

b. Find the emf induced (E) in the coil at time t!

5. On an inclined platform PQRS a metal rod is sliding down on two parallel metal rails PS and
QR without friction. A resistance r is connected across ends P and Q. A uniform magnetic
field of induction B is always normal to the plane PQRS. (Distance between rails is l and θ =
37)

a. Find the velocity of the metal rod as a function of time (t)!

b. Find the terminal velocity of the metal rod!
