An electron is projected normally from the surface of a sphere with speed $v_0$ in a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of the paper such that its strikes symmetrically opposite on the sphere with respect to the $x-$ axis. Radius of the sphere is $'a'$ and the distance of its centre from the wall is $'b'$ . What should be magnetic field such that the charge particle just escapes the wall
