Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: The electric force changes the speed of the charged particle and hence changes its kinetic energy; whereas the magnetic force does not change the kinetic energy of the charged particle.
Statement $II$: The electric force accelerates the positively charged particle perpendicular to the direction of the electric field. The magnetic force accelerates the moving charged particle along the direction of the magnetic field.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

An electron having charge $1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C$ and mass $9 \times 10^{-31} \ kg$ is moving with $4 \times 10^6 \ m \ s^{-1}$ speed in a magnetic field of $2 \times 10^{-1} \ T$ in a circular orbit. The force acting on the electron and the radius of the circular orbit is $.........$

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

$A$ charged particle is moving in a uniform magnetic field in a circular path with radius $R$. When the energy of the particle is doubled,then the new radius will be
