An electron 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 tangentially,what should be the magnetic field $B$?

  • A
    $B = \frac{2bmv_0}{(b^2 - a^2)e}$
  • B
    $B = \frac{2bmv_0}{(a^2 + b^2)e}$
  • C
    $B = \frac{mv_0}{(\sqrt{b^2 - a^2})e}$
  • D
    $B = \frac{2mv_0}{(\sqrt{b^2 - a^2})e}$
