If we apply the magnetic field either in $y$ or $z$ direction, the path will be a circle perpendicular to the magnetic field $B$.

$B$ along $y$ $-axis:$ circle in $x z$ plane, at some point particle will be moving along

$-ve$ $x$ $-axis.$

$B$ along $z$ $- axis:$ circle in $x y$ plane, at some point particle will be moving along

$-ve$ $x$ $-axis.$
