Question

Two parallel wires in the plane of the paper are distance X 0 apart. A point charge is moving with speed u between the wires in the same plane at a distance X 1 from one of the wires. When the wires carry current of magnitude &#160; I in the same direction, the radius of curvature of the path of the point charge is R 1 . In contrast, if the currents &#160; I in the two wires have directions opposite to each other, the radius of curvature of the path is R 2 . If X 0 X 1 = 3 , value of R 1 R 2 is
