For the resistor combination, find the equivalent resistance between M and N.

As per what is given, the resistance of the given resistors are = R1, R2, R3, and R4. In order to determine the Equivalent Resistance (R_eq) between M and N, we have to assume the following diagram:

Combination of Resistors

From the figure, R3 and R4 are in parallel combinations. We are already aware that the total resistance can be expressed as follows when two conductors are connected in parallel:

Thus,

1/Rp = 1/R3 + 1/R4

= R4 + R3/R3 x R4

= R3 $\times$ R4/ R4 + R3

Now, it is clear that R1, R2 and Rp are in series. Hence, the equivalent resistance can be represented as:

⇒ R_eq = R1 + R2 + Rp

= R1 + R2 + R3 x R4/ R4 + R3

Therefore, the equivalent resistance, (R_eq) between points M and N equals R1 + R2 + R3 x R4/ R4 +R3.

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.
