A particle of mass mand charge q moves witha constant velocity $ \nu $ along the positive x- direction. It enters a region containing a uniform magnetic field B directed along the negative z-direction, extending from x= a to x= b. The minimumvalue of required so that the particle can just enter the region $ x \gt b $ is
In the fig. the z-axis points outof the paper and mag. field is direced into the paper represented by It is present between PQ and RS only The particle moves in a circular path of radius r in the magnetic field. It can just enter the region $x \gt 9 $ for $ Now \;r = { mv \over qB } \geq (b-a) $ $ \nu \geq { (b-a) qB \over m } $ $ \therefore \nu min = { qB ( b -a ) \over n } $
