A charged particle is released from rest in a region of steady and uniform electric and magnetic fields which are parallel to each other. The particle will move in a

We know thatForce in electric field = qEForce in magnetic field = q(v x B)In electric field, the charge will gain velocity in the field direction. The magnetic field will not apply a force on the charge as the velocity vector is always parallel to magnetic field. So, the particle will move in a straight line in the direction of electric field.
