An electron enters the space between the plates of a charged capacitor as shown. The charge density on the plate is $\sigma$. Electric intensity in the space between the plates is $E$. $A$ uniform magnetic field $B$ also exists in that space perpendicular to the direction of $E$. The electron moves perpendicular to both $\vec{E}$ and $\vec{B}$ without any change in direction. The time taken by the electron to travel a distance $\ell$ in the space is

  • A
    $\frac{\sigma \ell}{\varepsilon_0 B}$
  • B
    $\frac{\sigma B}{\varepsilon_0 \ell}$
  • C
    $\frac{\varepsilon_0 \ell B}{\sigma}$
  • D
    $\frac{\varepsilon_0 \ell}{\sigma B}$

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: If oxygen ion $(O^{-2})$ and hydrogen ion $(H^{+})$ enter normal to the magnetic field with equal momentum,then the path of $O^{-2}$ ion has a smaller curvature than that of $H^{+}$.
Reason $R$: $A$ proton with same linear momentum as an electron will form a path of smaller radius of curvature on entering a uniform magnetic field perpendicularly.
In the light of the above statement,choose the correct answer from the options given below.
