Electrons moving with different speeds enter a uniform magnetic field in a direction perpendicular to the field. They will move along circular paths.

  • A
    of same radius
  • B
    with larger radii for the faster electrons
  • C
    with smaller radii for the faster electrons
  • D
    either $(b)$ or $(c)$ depending on the magnitude of the magnetic field

An electron gun is placed inside a long solenoid of radius $R$ on its axis. The solenoid has $n$ turns per unit length and carries a current $I$. The electron gun shoots an electron along the radius of the solenoid with speed $v$. If the electron does not hit the surface of the solenoid,the maximum possible value of $v$ is (all symbols have their standard meaning):
