$A$ mixed beam of $He^+$ and $O^{2+}$ ions (mass of $He^+ = 4 \ amu$ and that of $O^{2+} = 16 \ amu$) passes through a region of a constant perpendicular magnetic field. If the kinetic energy of all the ions is the same,then:

If a proton is projected in a direction perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field with velocity $v$ and an electron is projected along the lines of force,what will happen to the proton and electron?

$A$ particle having a mass of $10^{-2} \, kg$ carries a charge of $5 \times 10^{-8} \, C$. The particle is given an initial horizontal velocity of $10^5 \, m/s$ in the presence of an electric field $\vec{E}$ and a magnetic field $\vec{B}$. To keep the particle moving in a horizontal direction,it is necessary that:
$(1)$ $\vec{B}$ should be perpendicular to the direction of velocity and $\vec{E}$ should be along the direction of velocity.
$(2)$ Both $\vec{B}$ and $\vec{E}$ should be along the direction of velocity.
$(3)$ Both $\vec{B}$ and $\vec{E}$ are mutually perpendicular and perpendicular to the direction of velocity.
$(4)$ $\vec{B}$ should be along the direction of velocity and $\vec{E}$ should be perpendicular to the direction of velocity.
