Assertion : A proton and an alpha particle having the same kinetic energy are moving in circular paths in a uniform magnetic field. The radii of their circular paths will be equal.
Reason : Any two charged particles having equal kinetic energies and entering a region of uniform magnetic field $\overrightarrow B $ in a direction perpendicular to $\overrightarrow B $, will describe circular trajectories of equal radii.

An electron enters with a velocity ${\rm{\vec v}},{{\rm{v}}_0}{\rm{\hat i}}$ 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 plane parallel to the $\mathrm{xy}$ - plane. Suggest a configuration of fields $\mathrm{E}$ and $\mathrm{B}$ that can lead to it.
