When a charged particle moves in an elecltric or a magnetic field, its speed is `v` and acceleration is `a`

A

In a magnetic field `v` is constant if the particle moves in a circular path, and variable if it moves in a helical path.

B

In a magnetic field, `v` is always constant `a` may or may not ber zero

C

In an electric field, `v` can never remain constant.

D

In a uniform electric field, `a` must be constant in magnitude and direction.
