68. An electron passes through an environment that contains a uniform magnetic field and a uniform electric field. If the magnitude and direction of the electron's velocity remain constant along this path, which statement is correct?
  1. [(1)] Both fields are parallel to the path of the electron and in opposite directions.
  2. [(2)] Both fields are perpendicular to the path of the electron and in opposite directions.
  3. [(3)] The magnetic field is necessarily perpendicular to the path of the electron, but the electric field may not be perpendicular to this path.
  4. [(4)] The electric field is necessarily perpendicular to the path of the electron, but the magnetic field may not be perpendicular to this path.
