A particle of mass $M$ and positive charge $Q$, moving with a constant velocity $\overrightarrow{ u }_1=4 \hat{ i } ms ^{-1}$, enters a region of uniform static magnetic field normal to the $x-y$ plane. The region of the magnetic field extends from $x=0$ to $x$ $=L$ for all values of $y$. After passing through this region, the particle emerges on the other side after $10$ milliseconds with a velocity $\overline{ u }_2=2(\sqrt{3} \hat{ i }+\hat{ j }) ms ^{-1}$.
