As shown in the figure, the uniform magnetic field between the two identical plates is $B$. There is a hole in plate. If through this hole a particle of charge $q$, mass $m$ and energy $E$ enters this magnetic field, then the particle will not collide  with the upper plate provided

The particle will bend in the magnetic field.

The particle will not collide with the upper plate if radius of the semicircular trajectory is less than the distance $d$ between the plates.

Equating Lorentz force and centripetal force for circular motion,

$qvB =\frac{ mv ^2}{ r }$

$\therefore r =\frac{ mv }{ qB }$

Since $r < d , \frac{ mv }{ qB } < d$

$\therefore B > \frac{ mv }{ qd }=\frac{ m \sqrt{\frac{2 E }{ m }}}{ qd }=\frac{\sqrt{2 mE }}{ qd }$
