A particle having a mass of $10^{- 2} \,kg$ carries a charge of $5 \times 10^{-8}\, C.$ The particle is given an initial horizontal velocity of $10^5\, m/s $ in the presence of electric field $E$ and magnetic field  $B.$ To keep the particle moving in a horizontal direction, it is necessary that

$(1)$ $\vec B$ should be perpendicular to the direction of velocity and $\vec E$ should be along the direction of velocity
$(2)$  Both $\vec B$ and $\vec E$ should be along the direction of velocity
$(3)$ Both $\vec B$ and $\vec E$ are mutually perpendicular and perpendicular to the direction of velocity.
$(4)$ $\vec B$ should be along the direction of velocity and $\vec E$ should be perpendicular to the direction of velocity
