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 I in the same direction, the radius of curvature of the path of the point charge is R_1 In contrast, if the currents 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 , the value of (R_1)/(R_2) is
