$A$ particle of mass $m$ and charge $q$ moving with velocity $\vec v$ enters a region of uniform magnetic field $\vec B.$ Then:

  • A
    Its path in the region of field is always circular.
  • B
    Its path in the region of field is circular if $\vec v \times \vec B = \vec 0$.
  • C
    Its path in the region is helical if $\vec v \times \vec B = \vec 0$.
  • D
    Time period $T$ does not depend on the angle between $\vec v$ and $\vec B$.
