An electron gun is placed inside a long solenoid of radius R on
its axis. The solenoid has n turns/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, maximum

possible value of v is (all symbols have 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}
