A charged particle moves in a region where a constant magnetic field exists. If the particle has velocity components paralle perpendicular to the magnetic field vector, it follows a helical path. The distance between the successive circular paths in it helical path is called pitch. Which one or ones are correct about the pitch of the helical path of the charged particle? I) If the component of its velocity perpendicular to the magnetic field increases, the pitch decreases. II) If the component of its velocity parallel to the magnetic field increases, the pitch increases. III) If the magnitude of the magnetic field increases, the pitch increases.
