A positively charged particle having charge qq is accelerated by a potential difference VV. This particle moving along the xx-axis enters a region where an electric field EE exists. The direction of the electric field is along positive yy-axis. The electric field exists in the region bounded by the lines x=0x = 0 and x=ax = a. Beyond the line x=ax = a (i.e. in the region x≥ax \ge a) there exists a magnetic field of strength BB, directed along the positive yy-axis. Find (a) at which point does the particle meet the line x=ax = a (b) the pitch of the helix formed after the particle enters the region x≥ax \ge a . Mass of the particle is mm .
