A charged particle (electron or proton) is introduced at the origin $(x=0, y=0, z=0)$ with a given initial velocity $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}$. A uniform electric field $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}$ and magnetic field $\vec{B}$ are given in columns $1,2$ and $3$ , respectively. The quantities $E_0, B_0$ are positive in magnitude.

$[A] (IV) (ii) (S)$   $[B] (III) (ii) (P)$   $[C]$ (II) (iii) $(Q)$   $[D] (III) (ii) (R)$

For constant velocity

$q[\vec{E}+(\vec{\nabla} \times \vec{B})]=0$

For helical path, having its axis along $z$-axis, $B$ must be along $z$-axis.

$\vec{E}$ and $B$ must be along same line (i.e. parallel or anti parallel) with initial velocity either zero or along the field ( $\vec{E}$ as well $\vec{B}$ ).
