A uniform magnetic field B exists in the region between x=0 and x=3R2 (region 2 in the figure) pointing normally into the plane of the paper. A particle with charge +Q and momentum p directed along x -axis enters region 2 from region 1 at point P1(y=-R). Which of the following option(s) is/are correct?
For B=813 pQR, radius of path
R'=pO.B=p×13QRQ8p=138R
Using pythagorous theorem,y=5R8
∴ particle will enter region 3 through point P2 for B>23pQR
Radius of path <3PQRQ2p=32R
∴ Particle will not enter in region 3 and will re-enter region 1
Charge on momentum = √2p. When particle enters region 1 between entry point and farthest point from y-axis.
