A cubical region of space is filled with some uniform electric and magnetic fields. An electron enters the cube across one of its faces with velocity v and a positron enters via opposite face with velocity -v. At this instant,
the magnetic forces on both the particles cause equal accelerations.
Only electron gains or looses energy.
the electric forces on both the particles cause identical accelerations.

60s - Q11
Consider a wire carrying a steady current, I placed in a uniform magnetic field B perpendicular to its length. Consider the charges inside the wire. It is known that magnetic forces do not work. This implies that,
If the wire moves under the influence of B, no work is done by the electric force on the ions, assumed fixed within the wire.
motion of charges inside the conductor is unaffected by B, since they do not absorb energy.
if the wire moves under the influence of B, no work is done by the force.
Some charges inside the wire move to the surface as a result of B.
