JEE MainPhysicsModerateMagnetic effect of current

An electron gun is placed inside a long solenoid of radius R on
its axis. The solenoid has n turns/lengthand carries a current I. The

electron gun shoots an electron along the radius of the solenoid with

speedv. If the electron does not hit the surface of the solenoid,

maximum possible value of v is (all symbolshave their standard meaning)

Show answer and solution
Rmax⁡=R2=mvmax⁡eμ0inR_{\max} = \frac{R}{2} = \frac{{mv}_{\max}}{e\mu_{0}in}
Vmax⁡=Reμ0in2mV_{\max} = \frac{{Re}{\mu_{0}in}}{2m}
