(a) 

When a positively charged conductor is placed near a candle flame, the flame spreads out as shown in the diagram above. Explain this observation.

(b) A proton moving with a speed of 5.0 x 10\(^{5}\) ms\(^{-1}\) enters a magnetic field of flux density 0.2 T at an angle of 30° to the field. Calculate the magnitude of the magnetic fcrce exerted on the proton. [Proton charge = 1.6 x 10\(^{-19}\) C]

(c)  

The diagram above illustrates a 9.0 V battery of internal resistance 0.5 \(\Omega\) connected to two resistors of values 2.0 \(\Omega\) and R \(\Omega\). A\(_1\) A\(_2\) and A\(_3\) are ammeters of negligible internal resistances. If Al reads 4.0 A, calculate the:

(i) equivalent resistance of the combined resistors 2.0 \(\Omega\) and R \(\Omega\);

(ii) currents through A\(_1\) and A\(_3\) ; (iii) value of R.
