Question
When a proton is released from rest in a room, it starts with an initial acceleration a0 towards west. When it is projected towards north with a speed v0, it moves with an initial acceleration 3a0 towards west. Find the electric field and the maximum possible magnetic field in the room.

Answer

$\text{q}_\text{p}=\text{e},\ \text{mp}=\text{m},\ \text{F}=\text{q}_\text{p}\times\text{E}$
$\text{ma}_0=\text{eE}$
$\text{E}=\frac{\text{ma}_0}{\text{e}}$ towards west

The acceleration changes from a0 to 3a0
Hence net acceleration produced by magnetic field $\overrightarrow{\text{B}}$ is 2a0.
Force due to magnetic field
$\overrightarrow{\text{F}}_\text{B}=\text{m}\times2\text{a}_0=\text{e}\times\text{V}_0\times\text{B}$
$\Rightarrow\text{B}=\frac{2\text{ma}_0}{\text{eV}_0}$ downwards

The force of buoyancy exerted by the atmosphere on a balloon is B in the upward direction and remains constant. The force of air resistance on the balloon acts opposite to the direction of velocity and is proportional to it.
