The bottom electron is affected by a uniform magnetic field, of 2.5T, that acts perpendicularly to the path of the electron.

Question

Two electrons are shot out of a double-barreled particle accelerator to the right, one after the other, and move on parallel trajectories. The electron on the top trajectory is fired after the one on the bottom. The top electron is not affected by any outside fields. The bottom electron is affected by a uniform magnetic field, of 2.5T, that acts perpendicularly to the path of the electron. Both electrons begin at rest before being acted upon by a potential difference of 12 V. If the electrons are fired with a distance of 46600 nm of separation, will the electrons collide in a head-on collision after the electron on the bottom is impacted by the magnetic field?
