A charged particle of charge $q$ and mass $m$, gets deflected through an angle $\theta$ upon passing through a square region of side $a$, which contains a uniform magnetic field $B$ normal to its plane. Assuming that the particle entered the square at right angles to one side, what is the speed of the particle?

    $\frac{q B}{m} a \cot \theta$

  • B

    $\frac{q B}{m} a \tan \theta$

  • C

    $\frac{q B}{m} a \cot ^2 \theta$

  • D

    $\frac{q B}{m} \alpha \tan ^2 \theta$
