Given below are two statements

Statement $I$ : The electric force changes the speed of the charged particle and hence changes its kinetic energy: whereas the magnetic force does not change the kinetic energy of the charged particle

Statement $II$ : The electric force accelerates the positively charged particle perpendicular to the direction of electric field. The magnetic force accelerates the moving charged particle along the direction of magnetic field. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below

A block of mass $m$ $\&$ charge $q$ is released on a long smooth inclined plane magnetic field $B$ is constant, uniform, horizontal and parallel to surface as shown. Find the time from start when block loses contact with the surface.

Assertion : A proton and an alpha particle having the same kinetic energy are moving in circular paths in a uniform magnetic field. The radii of their circular paths will be equal.

Reason : Any two charged particles having equal kinetic energies and entering a region of uniform magnetic field $\overrightarrow B $ in a direction perpendicular to $\overrightarrow B $, will describe circular trajectories of equal radii.

Two very long, straight, parallel wires carry steady currents $I$ and $-I$ respectively. The distance  etween the wires is $d$. At a certain instant of time, a point charge $q$ is at a point equidistant from the two wires, in the plane of the wires. Its instantaneous velocity $v$ is perpendicular to the plane of wires. The magnitude of the force due to the magnetic field acting on the charge at this instant is
