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 $(I I) (i i i) (S)$
For motion in a straght line it only possible in condition when, $\to V$ , $\to E$ and $\to B$ are mutually perpendicular
So, for this condition,
$q (\to V \times \to B) + q$
$\to E = 0$
$\to E = - \to V \times \to B$
or $\to E = - (\to V \times \to B)$

For option-A:
$E | | B$ but perpendicular to $\to V$
Hence path is helix with increasing pitch.

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.

For C and D:
Force due to $\to B$ is zero. Hence, it will accelerate opposite to direction of $\to E$

So, from the above observation only option $B$ is correct.
