Question

Assume that the magnetic field is uniform in a cubical region and zero outside. Can you project a charged particle from outside into the field, so that the particle describes a complete circle in the field?

Solution

Let us assume that the magnetic field is uniform and is acting along positive x axis in the cubical region.
Now if we project a charged particle inside this cube along positive y axis then as the direction of velocity and magnetic field is perpendicular to each other so the resultant trajectory of the particle will be a circle.
