A cubical region of space is filled with some uniform electric and magnetic fields. An electron enters the cube across one of its faces with velocity v and a positron enters via opposite face with velocity -v. At this instant,
(a) The electric forces on both the particles cause identical accelerations.
(b) The magnetic forces on both the particles cause equal accelerations.
(c) Both particles gain or loose energy at the same rate.
(d) The motion of the Centre of Mass (CM) is determined by B alone.

Answer- (b, c, d)
Explanation- magnetic forces on both the particles cause equal acceleration because they both have equal velocity
Also they both gain or loose energy because direction of force in both cases is opposite.
And there is no change in center of mass of particles so it is determined by B alone.
