An electron and a positron are released from $(0, 0, 0)$ and $(0, 0, 1.5\, R)$ respectively, in a uniform magnetic field ${\rm{\vec B = }}{{\rm{B}}_0}{\rm{\hat i}}$ , each with an equal momentum of magnitude $P = eBR$. Under what conditions on the direction of momentum will the orbits be non-intersecting circles ?

A charged particle of charge $q$ and mass $m$, gets deflected through an angle $\theta$ upon passing through a square region of side $a$, which contains a uniform magnetic field $B$ normal to its plane. Assuming that the particle entered the square at right angles to one side, what is the speed of the particle?

Two parallel wires in the plane of the paper are distance $X _0$ apart. A point charge is moving with speed $u$ between the wires in the same plane at a distance $X_1$ from one of the wires. When the wires carry current of magnitude $I$ in the same direction, the radius of curvature of the path of the point charge is $R_1$. In contrast, if the currents $I$ in the two wires have direction opposite to each other, the radius of curvature of the path is $R_2$.

If $\frac{x_0}{x_1}=3$, the value of $\frac{R_1}{R_2}$ is.
