Consider a long thin conducting wire carrying a uniform current $I$. $A$ particle having mass $M$ and charge $q$ is released at a distance $a$ from the wire with a speed $v_0$ along the direction of current in the wire. The particle gets attracted to the wire due to magnetic force. The particle turns round when it is at distance $x$ from the wire. The value of $x$ is [$\mu_0$ is vacuum permeability]

  • A
    $a\left[1-\frac{mv_0}{2 q \mu_0 I}\right]$
  • B
    $\frac{a}{2}$
  • C
    $a\left[1-\frac{mv_0}{q \mu_{o} I}\right]$
  • D
    $ae^{-\frac{4 \pi m v_0}{q \mu_0 I}}$
