Problem

An electron with an initial velocity vv enters a uniform magnetic field making an angle α\alpha with the magnetic field BB. It then hits a screen located at a distance DD from the entrance point. Assuming 0<α<90°0 < \alpha < 90°, which of the following statement is true? A. The time to hit the screen increases if B increases. B. The time to hit the screen increases if B decreases. C. The time to hit the screen increases if α\alpha increases D. The time to hit the screen increases if α\alpha decreases. E. The time to hit the screen is independent of α\alpha.
