Question:

A particular type of fundamental particle decays by transforming into an electron e- and a positron e+. Suppose the decaying particle is at rest in a uniform magnetic field B of magnitude 3.53mT and the e- and e+ move away from the decay point in paths lying in a plane perpendicular to B. How long after the decay do the e- and e+ collide?
