An electron is moving is the plane along the positive x-axis: There is a sudden change in its path due to the presence of electric or magnetic fields beyond
as in figure the curved path lies in the
plane and is found to be non-circular. Which of the following combinations is possible?

Since the path of the particle beyond P is non-circular, both E and B fields must be present beyond P.
Curved bath lies in the plane, the magnetic freed must be in the
plane.
Hence, option (b) .
