To find the potential difference across a solenoid, we can use the formula: V = L dI/dt

where V is the potential difference, L is the inductance of the solenoid, and dI/dt is the rate of change of current.

Given, a constant current of 2A is passing through a solenoid of inductance 12H.

Since the current is constant, dI/dt = 0.

Therefore, the potential difference across the solenoid is: V = L dI/dt = 12 x 0 = 0 volts

Hence, the potential difference across the solenoid is 0 volts. This is because there is no rate of change of current, so there is no induced EMF across the solenoid.

A charged particle $+q$ in an electric field $\vec{E}$ experiences a force in the direction of the electric field. As a result, its kinetic energy changes. Similarly, the charged particle also experiences a force when it moves in a magnetic field $\vec{B}$. But this magnetic force is perpendicular to both velocity $\vec{v}$ of the charged particle and the magnetic field $\vec{B}$, so it cannot change the kinetic energy of the charged particle. Consider two charged particles 1 and 2 of masses $m$ and $\frac{m}{2}$ having charges $-q$ and $+2q$ respectively. They are accelerated from rest through the same potential difference $V$ and acquire kinetic energy $K_1$ and $K_2$. Then they enter in a region of uniform magnetic field $\vec{B}$ perpendicular to their velocities.
