A charge particle q of mass m is placed at a distance d from another charge particle -2q of mass 2m in a uniform magnetic field B as shown. If particle are projected towards each other with equal speed $V_{0}$ , the maximum value of projection speed $V_{0}$ , so that the two particles do not collide is (Assume only magnetic interaction).

Detailed Solution

Particles will move in circular path, as velocity vector is perpendicular to field. For collision not to take place perpendicular to field.

$r_{1} + r_{2} < d$

$o r \frac{m v}{q B} + \frac{2 m v}{2 q B} < d o r \frac{2 m v}{q B} < d o r v < \frac{q B d}{2 m}$

Therefore, maximum speed should be $\frac{q B d}{2 m}$ .
Hence, choice (b) is correct.
