Force on a charged particle moving in a magnetic field
Question

In a cylindrical region uniform magnetic field is present as shown in the figure. The cylinder is kept on a horizontal plane and its axis is horizontal. If a charge particle of mass m and charge q is projected horizontally with velocity v through a hole normal to the axis of the cylinder as shown
in the diagram. An observer states the particle moves first undeviated and subsequently

Difficult
Solution

Consider the 2D view of the situation. Before any collision with the walls of cylinder, the particle will move in horizontal plane if qvB = mg.

But after 1st collision, qvB and mg start acting in same direction along vertical and the particle is not able to move in horizontal plane.
