A charged particle (electron or proton) is introduced at the origin $(x = 0, y = 0, x = 0)$ with a given initial velocity $\to v$ . A uniform electric field $\to E$ and a uniform magnetic field $\to B$ exist everywhere. The velocity $\to v$ , electric field $\to E$ and magnetic field $\to B$ are given in column $1, 2$ and $3,$ respectively. The quantities $E_{0}, B_{0}$ are positive in magnitude.

Solution

The correct option is B (IV)(i)(S)
In a given situation, a system will obtain the helical path when magnetic field $\to B$ and electric field $\to E$ direction are same (in $^z$ direction).

For A, C and D:
Force due to $\to B$ is zero but particle will accelerate due to $\to E$

For option-B:
$\to V ⊥ \to E ⊥ \to B$ and $v = \frac{| E |}{| B |}$
Hence, it will travel in straight line so net flux on it is zero.
Hence, option $B$ is correct.
