Problem

A charged particle is moving along the positive

y

-axis in uniform electric and magnetic fields

\mathbf{E}=E_0\hat{k}

and

\mathbf{B}=B_0\hat{i}

, where

E_0

and

B_0

are positive constants. Choose the correct option(s). (1) The particle may be deflected towards the positive

z

-axis. (2) The particle may be deflected towards the negative

z

-axis. (3) The particle may pass undeflected. (4) The kinetic energy of the particle may remain constant.
