$A$ charged particle (electron or proton) is introduced at the origin $(x=0, y=0, z=0)$ with a given initial velocity $\overrightarrow{v}$. $A$ uniform electric field $\overrightarrow{E}$ and magnetic field $\vec{B}$ are given in columns $I, II$ and $III$, respectively. The quantities $E_0, B_0$ are positive in magnitude.

The energies required to set up in a cube of side $10 \,cm$ $(i)$ a uniform electric field of $10^7 \,Vm^{-1}$ and (ii) a uniform magnetic field of $0.25 \,Wbm^{-2}$ are respectively about $(\mu_0=4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \,Hm^{-1}, \varepsilon_0=8.9 \times 10^{-12} \,Fm^{-1})$

An electron (mass $9 \times 10^{-31} \ kg$ and charge $1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C$) moving with speed $v = c/100$ $(c = 3 \times 10^8 \ ms^{-1})$ is injected into a magnetic field $\vec{B}$ of magnitude $9 \times 10^{-4} \ T$ perpendicular to its direction of motion. We wish to apply a uniform electric field $\vec{E}$ together with the magnetic field so that the electron does not deflect from its path. Then:

Two protons move parallel to each other,keeping a distance $r$ between them,both moving with the same velocity $\vec{v}$. Then the ratio of the electric force to the magnetic force of interaction between them is:
