A uniform magentic field exists in space. A particle of mass m and charges q is projected towards negative x-axis with speed v from a point (d, 0, 0). The maximum value of v for which the particle does not hit the y-z plane is
Bqd/m
As the magnetic field is uniform and the particle is projected in a direction perpendicular to the field, it will describe a circular path. The particle will not hit the y-z plane, if the radius of the circle is smaller than d. For the maximum value of v the radius is just equal to d. Thus
