1. Statement I is incorrect and Statement II is correct.
2. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
3. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
4. Statement I is correct and Statement II is incorrect.

A particle of mass \(m\) and the charge \(q\) is observed to move with a uniform velocity \(v\) in a region containing a uniform magnetic field \(B,\) and a uniform gravitational field \(g.\) The magnetic field \(B\) must satisfy:
1. \(B = \dfrac{mg}{qv}\)

2. \(B \leq \dfrac{m g}{q v}\)

3. \(B \geq \dfrac{m g}{q v}\)

4. \(B = \dfrac{qv}{mg}\)

A charged particle moves in a circular path of radius \(r\) in a uniform magnetic field \(B,\) perpendicular to the plane of motion. The same particle is observed to move in a circular path around an infinite line charge \(\lambda\) (charge/unit length), moving with the same kinetic energy as before. The charge to mass ratio of the particle is proportional to:
1. \(\lambda Br\)

2. \(\dfrac{\lambda Br}{r}\)

3. \(\dfrac{\lambda}{Br}\)

4. \(\dfrac{\lambda}{B^2r^2}\)
