B is in z direction
Fmag = q(v x B)
If q is +ve then, according to RHR, F is downwards (-y). This will
cause the charge to start moving in a circular fashion. Thus,
Fcentripetal = mv2/r
q(v x B) = qvBsinθ = mv2/r
qB = mv/r
v = qBr/m
ω = qB/m since v = rω
If particle is also moving in the z direction then the motion of the
particle will be a helix. There will be no influence in the z direction
since θ = sinθ = 0.
