Answer:
a circular path
Explanation:
In a magnetism field if a charged particle having a charge of magnitude ” enters such that its velocity vector V is 90° to the direction of the magnetic field “B”, then it will experience a force, called Lorentz force F
According to the property of cross-product, the Lorentz force (F) acting on the particle will be perpendicular to the instantaneous position of the particle, making the path of the particle to be a circular path.
