The Attempt at a Solution
I am not quite understanding what is given in the question .Are the two directions of the fields known to us ?
Assuming we know the two directions , say for example if we know that the two fields are in x and y directions , but we don't know which one points in x direction .
Now if we fire the charged particle in y direction and path is parabolic , then magnetic field is in y direction and electric field is in x direction .If not , then particle is fired in x direction and path of particle is analysed .
But correct answer is option c) . Could someone help me understand how option C) is correct ? What does it mean to fire the particle in opposite direction ?
