Magnetic flux density / Magnetic field due to a straight wire is -
B is the magnetic flied. r is the distance from point P to wire. I is the current in wire.

So, when electron launched with velocity into P with trajectory perpendicular to the exam sheet , electron will experience a force due to the magnetic field produced by the currents in the wires.
This force will cause the electron to move in a circular path with radius is -
is the centripetal force. m is the mass of the electron. v is the velocity of the electron. r is the radius of curvature of the path.
Force due to the magnetic field is -
is the magnetic force. q is the charge of the electron. path of electron trajectory perpendicular to the sheet so both force is equal each other for path radius.

FM = qvB
qvB = mv^2 r
r =
mv^2 qvB
r =
mv qB
r is the radius of path so plugging value in the formula to find out the radius of path -
radius of trajectory path is 1.77m.
Magnetic flux density / Magnetic field due to two infinitely long parallel wire is -
Radius of curvature path is -
r = mv qB
r = (

r = (

r = (

r = (

r = (

r = (1.77) m
r = (1.77) m
