A positively charged particle moves in a region having a uniform magnetic field and uniform electric field in same direction. At time

t=0

, the velocity of the particle is perpendicular to the field direction. The subsequent path of the particle will be

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

A helix with increasing pitch

Option D (A helix with increasing pitch) is correct because the electric field accelerates the particle along the field direction, while the magnetic field causes it to move in a circle perpendicular to the field. The increasing velocity along the field leads to an increasing pitch.
