A particle of mass m and charge q is projected with v = v 0 i ^ in a non uniform magnetic field which is given by → B = − B 0 x k ^ , where B 0 , v 0 are positive constants. Find the maximum x coordinate of the particle during its motion.
Details and Assumptions
Assume that the particle enters the x − y plane at origin with the given velocity.

yes, I liked this problem so i decided to share it here as well.

2017 batch, I got my best ever rank in mains 6 which i gave offline, about 206. I gave mains 7 online, so i didn't get any rank, which centre do you belong to?
Really nice problem. Keep posting!

Thanks Swapnil, this problem was actually given by our sir for our practice :)
@Swagat Panda Do see this solution.
Very nice, frankly speaking, I didn't know the radius of curvature formula for any curve which you mentioned prior to reading your solution. You taught me a new handy formula.
When I attempted this question for the very first time, I tried to use the centripetal force formula with Lorentz force formula to find x m a x but because I didn't know at that time that this sort of formula exists, I was unsuccessful. In a way, you fulfilled one of my incomplete wishes to solve this question in another way. :)
Nice dude …bdw are u studying in fitjee??
Yes. I'm from Fiitjee Banglore

Now, using Lorentz force equation we get m a y = q v 0 B 0 x c o s θ ⇒ m a y = q ( v 0 c o s θ ) B 0 x m d t d v y = q B 0 x d t d x ⇒ m ∫ 0 v 0 d v y = q B 0 ∫ 0 x m a x x d x m v 0 − 0 = q B 0 2 x m a x 2 ⇒ x m a x = q B 0 2 m v 0
