A neutral particle of mass 28 g is at rest in a uniform magnetic field B=2003 T. At t=0, particle decays into two particles of equal mass, and one of them having charge 3μC. Both of them move in separate paths lying in the plane perpendicular to magnetic field B. At later time t, the two particles collide first time. (Neglect the interaction force). Then calculate t in seconds
