A charged particle is released from rest in a region of steady and uniform electric and magnetic fields which are parallel to each other . The particle will remove in a

A

helix of constant pitch

B

straight line

C

helix of verying pitch

D

cycloid

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Since it will have force only of electric filed so locus will be strainght line .
