$A$ particle of mass $m$ and charge $q$ moving with velocity $v$ enters region-$b$ from region-$a$ along the normal to the boundary as shown in the figure. Region-$b$ has a uniform magnetic field $B$ perpendicular to the plane of the paper. Also, region-$b$ has length $L$. Choose the correct statements:

  • A
    The particle enters region-$c$ only if $v > \frac{qLB}{m}$
  • B
    The particle enters region-$c$ only if $v < \frac{qLB}{m}$
  • C
    Path of the particle is a circle in region-$b$
  • D
    Time spent in region-$b$ is independent of velocity $v$
