Problem

A charged particle of unit mass and unit charge moves with velocity v=(8i^+6j^) m s−1\mathbf{v}=(8\hat{i}+6\hat{j})\,\mathrm{m\,s^{-1}} in a magnetic field B=2k^ T\mathbf{B}=2\hat{k}\,\mathrm{T}. Choose the correct alternative(s). (1) The path of the particle may be x2+y2−4x−21=0x^2+y^2-4x-21=0. (2) The path of the particle may be x2+y2=25x^2+y^2=25. (3) The path of the particle may be y2+z2=25y^2+z^2=25. (4) The time period of the particle will be 3.14 s3.14\,\mathrm{s}.
