$A$ particle of charge $+q$ and mass $m$ moving under the influence of a uniform electric field $E\hat i$ and a uniform magnetic field $B\hat k$ follows a trajectory from $P$ to $Q$ as shown in the figure. The velocities at $P$ and $Q$ are $v\hat i$ and $-2v\hat j$ respectively. Which of the following statement$(s)$ is/are correct?

Assertion : $A$ charge,whether stationary or in motion,produces a magnetic field around it.
Reason : Moving charges produce only electric field in the surrounding space.

Statement $(I)$: $A$ uniform electric field and a uniform magnetic field are pointed in the same direction. If an electron is projected in the same direction,the electron velocity will decrease in magnitude.
Statement $(II)$: Two infinitely long parallel wires are carrying current in the same direction. The magnetic field at a point midway between the wires is zero.
Statement $(III)$: No net force acts on a rectangular coil carrying a steady current when suspended in a uniform magnetic field.
Which of the following is correct?

Two insulated rings,one of slightly smaller diameter than the other,are suspended along their common diameter as shown. Initially,the planes of the rings are mutually perpendicular. When a steady current is set up in each of them:

The energies required to set up in a cube of side $10 \,cm$ $(i)$ a uniform electric field of $10^7 \,Vm^{-1}$ and (ii) a uniform magnetic field of $0.25 \,Wbm^{-2}$ are respectively about $(\mu_0=4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \,Hm^{-1}, \varepsilon_0=8.9 \times 10^{-12} \,Fm^{-1})$
