Radius of circular path described by a charged particle in a magnetic field is given by `r=sqrt((2mk)/(qB)) , rArr k=(q^2B^2 r^2)/"2m"=(e/m)(eB^2r^2)/2`
`=1/2xx1.7xx10^11 xx 1.6 xx 10^(-19)xx(1/sqrt17 xx 10^(-5))^2xx(1)^2`
`=8xx10^(-20) J ` =0.5 eV
`E=phi+K_"max"`
`phi=E-K_"max"`
`=(-12375/2475)` eV-0.5 eV=4.5 eV
