An electron enters with a velocity $\vec{v} = v_0 \hat{i}$ into a cubical region (faces parallel to coordinate planes) in which there are uniform electric and magnetic fields. The orbit of the electron is found to spiral down inside the cube in a plane parallel to the $xy$-plane. Suggest a configuration of fields $\vec{E}$ and $\vec{B}$ that can lead to this.

$A$ proton and an $\alpha$-particle (with their masses in the ratio of $1:4$ and charges in the ratio of $1:2$) are accelerated from rest through a potential difference $V$. If a uniform magnetic field $B$ is set up perpendicular to their velocities,the ratio of the radii $r_p : r_{\alpha}$ of the circular paths described by them will be
