A velocity selector consists of two horizontal parallel conducting plates producing a uniform downward electric field of magnitude \(E\), and a uniform magnetic field of magnitude \(B\) directed into the page throughout the region between the plates. Positively charged ions of charge \(+q\) enter the region horizontally to the right with speed \(v\). If the ions enter with a speed \(v > \dfrac{E}{B}\), towards which plate do the ions deflect, and how does their kinetic energy change while in the region between the plates?
