A charged particle of charge

+q

lies at the origin on the

xy

plane. A uniform electric field exists in the positive

y

direction and a uniform magnetic field exists in the

x

direction. If the particle has an initial velocity

v

in the positive

y

direction, what is the maximum height (

y

-direction) it will reach throughout its journey.
