Consider a long thin conducting wire carrying a uniform current $I$. $A$ particle having mass $M$ and charge $q$ is released at a distance $a$ from the wire with a speed $v_0$ along the direction of current in the wire. The particle gets attracted to the wire due to magnetic force. The particle turns round when it is at distance $x$ from the wire. The value of $x$ is [$\mu_0$ is vacuum permeability]

  • A
    $a\left[1-\frac{mv_0}{2 q \mu_0 I}\right]$
  • B
    $\frac{a}{2}$
  • C
    $a\left[1-\frac{mv_0}{q \mu_{o} I}\right]$
  • D
    $ae^{-\frac{4 \pi m v_0}{q \mu_0 I}}$

This question has Statement $1$ and Statement $2$. Of the four choices given after the Statements,choose the one that best describes the two Statements.
Statement $1$: $A$ charged particle is moving at a right angle to a static magnetic field. During the motion,the kinetic energy of the charge remains unchanged.
Statement $2$: $A$ static magnetic field exerts a force on a moving charge in the direction perpendicular to the magnetic field.

An electron of mass $m$ and charge $e$ is projected normally from the surface of a sphere of radius $a$ with speed $v_0$ into a uniform magnetic field $B$ perpendicular to the plane of the paper. The centre of the sphere is at a distance $b$ from a wall. If the electron strikes the wall symmetrically with respect to the $x$-axis,what should be the magnetic field $B$ such that the charged particle just touches the wall?
