In a certain region, uniform electric field →E=−E0^k and uniform magnetic field →B=−B0^k are present. At time t=0, a particle of mass m and charge q is given a velocity v=v0^j+v0^k. Find the time when the speed of the particle is minimum.

Solution
The correct option is Dmv0qE0 Given,
Electric field →E=−E0^k ,
Magnetic field →B=−B0^k,
Velocity v=v0^j+v0^k.
The acceleration of the particle,
−→aE=qE0m (along −ve z-direction)
Electric field will make z-component of velocity zero.
At that time, the speed of the particle will be minimum and that minimum speed is due to the other component ,i.e, y-component.
