Solution
When a charged particle having charge q moves inside a magnetic field \[\vec{B}\] with velocity v, it experiences a force `vecF=q(vecv xx vecB).`
When
\[\vec{v}\] is perpendicular to \[\vec{B}\] the force \[\vec{F}\] on the charged particle acts as the centripetal force and makes it move along a circular path.
The point charge travels in the plane perpendicular to both \[\vec{v}\] and \[\vec{B}\].
