Step 1

When any charged particle enters into magnetic field then external magnetic force acts on it called as magnetic force. It can be given as, 

Expression for magnetic force can be given as, 

F = qvB    .... (1) 

Since, charge is tracing a circular path then force acting on it can be given as, 

F = mv²r      .... (2) 

On comparing both equations, 

 

v = qBmr 

This is expression for velocity of charge particle in magnetic field.
