Problem

A circular ring of radius RR with uniform positive charge density λ\lambda per unit length is located in the yy - zz plane with its centre at the origin OO. A particle of mass mm and positive charge qq is projected from the point P(R3,0,0)P (R\sqrt{3}, 0, 0) on the positive xx -axis directly towards OO , with an initial speed vv. Find the smallest (non-zero) value of the speed vv such that the particle does not return to PP.
