Two metal strips, each of length l are clamped parallel to each other on a horizontal floor with a separation b between them. A wire of mass m lies on them perpendicularly a s shown in the figure. A vertically upward magnetic field of strength B exists in the space. The metal strips are smooth but the coefficient of friction between the wire and the floor is u. A current i is established when the switch S is closed at the instant t=0. Discuss the motion of the wire after the switch is closed. How far away from the strips will the wire reach?

A stream of protons and deuterons in a vacuum chamber enters a magnetic field. Both protons and deuterons and have been subjected to the same accelerating potential, the kinetic energies of the particles are same. If the ion stream is perpendicular to the magnetic field and the protons move in a circular path of radius r, find the radius of the path traversed by the deuterons.
