Question
A charged particle moves in a magnetic field $\vec B = 10\,\hat i$ with initial velocity $\vec u = 5\hat i + 4\hat j$ The path of the  particle will be

Answer

$Y-component$ of velocity will make the particle to move in circle whereas $x$ $-component$ of velocity will make particle move along $x$$-axis.$ So motion is helical.
