Consider the motion of a positive point charge in a region where there are simultaneous uniform electric and magnetic fields $\vec{E}=E_0 \hat{j}$ and $\vec{B}=B_0 \hat{j}$. At time $t=0$,this charge has velocity $\vec{v}$ in the $x-y$ plane,making an angle $\theta$ with the $x$-axis. Which of the following option$(s)$ is(are) correct for time $t>0$?
$(A)$ If $\theta=0^{\circ}$,the charge moves in a circular path in the $x-z$ plane.
$(B)$ If $\theta=0^{\circ}$,the charge undergoes helical motion with constant pitch along the $y$-axis.
$(C)$ If $\theta=10^{\circ}$,the charge undergoes helical motion with its pitch increasing with time,along the $y$-axis.
