A horizontal velocity selector region bounded by two parallel plates. The top plate is labeled with positive signs, and the bottom plate is labeled with negative signs. Vertical downward arrows between the plates represent a uniform electric field, labeled \(\vec{E}\). A regular grid of uniform blue cross symbols 'x' fills the region between the plates, labeled \(\vec{B}\). On the left side, an arrow pointing horizontally to the right enters the region, labeled with velocity \(\vec{v}\) and a small circle labeled \(+q\) at the arrow's tail along the central axis. No trajectory curves, traced paths, or deflected arrows are shown. No other labels, lines, text, or axes appear.
A positive charge entering crossed electric and magnetic fields.
A particle with positive charge \(+q\) is launched horizontally to the right with speed \(v\) into a velocity selector. The selector contains a uniform electric field \(\vec{E}\) directed toward the bottom of the page and a uniform magnetic field \(\vec{B}\) directed into the page. The speed of the particle satisfies \(v > \dfrac{E}{B}\). Which of the following correctly predicts the initial direction of deflection of the particle and describes the change in its kinetic energy immediately after entering the fields?
