The Lorentz force is given by
F=qv×B
=−ev×B
So, F^=i^×k^=−j^.
Fis along −y axis
As the magnetic field is perpendicular to the velocity, motion would be circular.

A square loop of side $2$ cm is placed in a time varying magnetic field with magnitude as $B = 0.4\sin(300t)$ Tesla. The normal to the plane of loop makes an angle of $60°$ with the field. The maximum induced emf produced in the loop is __________ mV.
A circular coil of radius $2$ cm and $125$ turns carries a current of $1$ A. The coil is placed in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude $0.4$ T. The axis of the coil makes an angle of $30°$ with the direction of the magnetic field. The torque acting on the coil is $\alpha \times 10^{-4}$ N.m. The value of $\alpha$ is ______. ($\pi=3.14$)
$1\,\mu$C charge moving with velocity $\vec{v} = \left(\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}\right)$ m/s in the region of magnetic field $\vec{B} = \left(2\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} - 5\hat{k}\right)$ T. The magnitude of force acting on it is $\sqrt{\alpha} \times 10^{-6}$ N. The value of $\alpha$ is _______.
A charged particle moves in a uniform magnetic field. If the velocity is perpendicular to the field, the path of the particle is:
Three identical coils $C_{1}, C_{2}$ and $C_{3}$ are closely placed such that they share a common axis. $C_{2}$ is exactly midway. $C_{1}$ carries current $I$ in anti-clockwise direction while $C_{3}$ carries current $I$ in clockwise direction. An induced current flows through $C_{2}$ will be in clockwise direction when
