Q.

In a coordinate system an electric field E and a magnetic field B exist in X-direction and particle of charge q and mass m is projected with a velocity v from origin along Y-direction. A target is located at point (x0,0,0). Find the magnitude of magnetic induction B (in Tesla) so that the particle will hit the target when it is crossing the X-axis third time. [Consider that π2=10, E=1, x0=1, m=2, q=10 all quantities in SI Unit]

Motion will be helical with increasing pitch, particle should hit the target in third round

x0=12qEm(3T)2

⇒B=6T
