For a positively charged particle moving in a $x-y$ plane initially along the $x$-axis,there is a sudden change in its path due to the presence of electric and/or magnetic fields beyond $P$. The curved path is shown in the $x-y$ plane and is found to be non-circular. Which one of the following combinations is possible?

  • A
    $\overrightarrow E = 0; \overrightarrow B = b\hat i + c\hat k$
  • B
    $\overrightarrow E = a\hat i; \overrightarrow B = c\hat k + a\hat i$
  • C
    $\overrightarrow E = 0; \overrightarrow B = c\hat j + b\hat k$
  • D
    $\overrightarrow E = a\hat i; \overrightarrow B = c\hat k + b\hat j$
