In a certain region,a uniform electric field $E$ and a magnetic field $B$ are present in opposite directions. At the instant $t = 0$,a particle of mass $m$ carrying a charge $q$ is given a velocity $v_0$ at an angle $\theta$ with the $y$-axis,in the $yz$-plane. The time after which the speed of the particle would be minimum is equal to

$A$ charged particle with charge $q$ and mass $m$ starts with an initial kinetic energy $K$ at the centre of a uniformly charged spherical region of total charge $Q$ and radius $R$. Charges $q$ and $Q$ have opposite signs. The spherically charged region is not free to move and kinetic energy $K$ is just sufficient for the charged particle to reach the boundary of the spherical charge. How much time does it take the particle to reach the boundary of the region?
