1. A proton and an alpha particle both enter a region of uniform magnetic field, $B$, moving at right angles to the field $B$. If the radius of circular orbits for both the particles is equal and the kinetic energy acquired by proton is $1\text{ MeV}$, the energy acquired by the alpha particle will be: (2015 Pre)
2. Assertion (A): An electron and a proton enter a uniform magnetic field at right angles to the field with equal velocities, then, deviation of both from the original path will be the same. Reason (R): In the situation described above, electron and proton will experience magnetic forces of different magnitude.  
3. A charge 'q' moves in a region where electric field and magnetic field both exist, then force on it is: (2002)
4. Assertion (A): A charged particle moves perpendicular to magnetic field. Its kinetic energy will remain constant but momentum changes. Reason (R): Magnetic force acts perpendicular to velocity of particle.  
5. When a proton is released from rest in a room, it starts with an initial acceleration $a_0$ towards west. When it is projected towards north with a speed $v_0$ it moves with an initial acceleration $3a_0$ toward west. The electric and magnetic fields in the room are: (2013)
