An electron (mass 9×10−31 kg9 \times 10^{-31} \mathrm{~kg}9×10−31 kg and charge 1.6×10−19C1.6 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{C}1.6×10−19C ) moving with speed c/100(c=\mathrm{c} / 100(\mathrm{c}=c/100(c= speed of light) is injected into a magnetic field B⃗\vec{B}B of magnitude 9×10−4 T9 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~T}9×10−4 T perpendicular to its direction of motion. We wish to apply an uniform electric field E⃗\vec{E}E together with the magnetic field so that the electron does not deflect from its path. Then (speed of light c=3×108 ms−1\mathrm{c}=3 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}c=3×108 ms−1 )

A model for quantized motion of an electron in a uniform magnetic field $B$ states that the flux passing through the orbit of the electron is $n(h / e)$ where $n$ is an integer, $h$ is Planck's constant and $e$ is the magnitude of electron's charge. According to the model, the magnetic moment of an electron in its lowest energy state will be ( $m$ is the mass of the electron)

Two identical charged conducting spheres $A$ and $B$ have their centres separated by a certain distance. Charge on each sphere is q and the force of repulsion between them is $F$. A third identical uncharged conducting sphere is brought in contact with sphere A first and then with B and finally removed from both. New force of repulsion between spheres $A$ and $B$ (Radii of $A$ and $B$ are negligible compared to the distance of separation so that for calculating force between them they can be considered as point charges) is best given as :
