    The coil in a moving coil Galvanometer experiences torque proportional to current passed through it. If a steady current $i$ is passed through it the deflection of the coil is found to be $90^o$ . Now the steady current is switched off and a charge $Q$ is suddenly passed through the coil. If the coil has $N$ turns of area $A$ each and its moment of inertia is $I$ about the axis it is going to rotate then the maximum angle through which it deflects upon passing $Q$ is

    Given below are two statements

    Statement $I$ : The electric force changes the speed of the charged particle and hence changes its kinetic energy: whereas the magnetic force does not change the kinetic energy of the charged particle

    Statement $II$ : The electric force accelerates the positively charged particle perpendicular to the direction of electric field. The magnetic force accelerates the moving charged particle along the direction of magnetic field. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below
