A small charged ball having mass m and charge q is suspended from a rigid support by means of an inextensible thread of length l. It is made to rotate on a horizontal circular path in a uniform, time independent magnetic field of induction B which is directed upward. The time period of revolution of the ball is T_0. If the thread is always stretched, calculate the radius of circular path on which the ball moves.
