Solution

Force on the charged particle is given by:
F = q(v×B)
B is in downward direction.
to move in circular motion , charge particle will enter in the direction perpendicular to the field.
if charge particle is negatively charged then it will move in in clockwise direction.
positive charge article will move in anti−clockwise direction
