The magnetic field exists along negative x-axis and electric field exists along positive x-axis. A charged particle moves with a velocity inclined at an angle `(theta)` with vertical in (x-y) plane. What will be the correct diagram of the helical path?

A

B

C

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Because of `vec(E)`, there will be acceleration `a=(qE)/(m)` along the axis of helix. So the pitch will increases.
