When a charged particle moving with velocity $\vec{V}$ is subjected to a magnetic field of induction $\vec{B}$,the force on it is non-zero. This implies that the:

An electron moving towards the east enters a magnetic field directed towards the north. The force on the electron will be directed

$A$ monoenergetic beam of electrons moving along the $+y$ direction enters a region of uniform electric and magnetic fields. If the beam goes straight undeflected,then fields $B$ and $E$ are directed respectively along:

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.
$(D)$ If $\theta=90^{\circ}$,the charge undergoes linear but accelerated motion along the $y$-axis.

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: The electric force changes the speed of the charged particle and hence changes its kinetic energy; whereas the magnetic force does not change the kinetic energy of the charged particle.
Statement $II$: The electric force accelerates the positively charged particle perpendicular to the direction of the electric field. The magnetic force accelerates the moving charged particle along the direction of the magnetic field.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
