P( Pitch ) = Bq
Where 𝜃 is angle of velocity of charge particle with x-axis For the given pitch 𝑑 correspond to charge particle, we
have

As charged particles traverse identical helical paths in a completely opposite direction in a same magnetic field 𝐁,
LHS for two particles should be same and of opposite sign.

direction of cross product of two vectors

So, the magnetic field is ⊥ to the direction of flow of charge.

4. (d) Magnetic Lorentz force : F = qVBsin⁡ 𝜃
Magnetic Lorentz force electron is projected with uniform velocity along the axis of a current carrying long solenoid
F = −qvBsin⁡ 180∘ = 0(𝜃 = 0∘ ) as magnetic field and velocity are parallel and electric field is zero (E = 0) due to
this magnetic field (B) perpendicular to the direction of motion (V). So it will not affect the velocity of moving
charge particle. So the electron will continue to move with uniform velocity along the axis of the solenoid.
