Problem

In the xyxy-plane, the region y>0y > 0 has a uniform magnetic field B1k^B_1\hat{k} and the region y<0y < 0 has another uniform magnetic field B2(−k^)B_2(-\hat{k}). A positively charged particle is projected from the origin along the positive yy-axis with speed v0=π ms−1v_0 = \pi \text{ ms}^{-1} at t=0t = 0 as shown in the figure. Neglect gravity in this problem. Let t=Tt = T be the time when the particle crosses the xx-axis from above for the second time. If B2=4B1B_2 = 4B_1, the average velocity of the particle, in ms−1\text{ms}^{-1}, along the xx-axis in the time interval TT is _____ .
