$A$ proton (or charged particle) moving with velocity $v$ is acted upon by an electric field $E$ and a magnetic field $B$. The proton will move undeflected if

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

An electron of mass $m$ and charge $e$ is projected normally from the surface of a sphere of radius $a$ with speed $v_0$ into a uniform magnetic field $B$ perpendicular to the plane of the paper. The centre of the sphere is at a distance $b$ from a wall. If the electron strikes the wall symmetrically with respect to the $x$-axis,what should be the magnetic field $B$ such that the charged particle just touches the wall?
