Homework Statement
Two particles having mass m separated by a distance d is uniform magnetic field as shown in the figure . If v=qBd/m, at what instant does collision occur. The coulomb force between the particles is switched off.
Homework Equations
T=2πm/qB
The Attempt at a Solution
For the given velocity each particle travel in a circle with radius d, at instant of collision each has completed 1/6 of it circular path, so I got time t=πm/3qB, but the solution says t=πm/6qB. Can somebody tell me where did I go wrong?
