The figure shows three situations when an electron with velocity $\vec v$ travels through a uniform magnetic field $\vec B$. In each case,what is the direction of the magnetic force on the electron?

An electron of mass $m$ and charge $e$ is projected normally from the surface of a sphere of radius $a$ with speed $v_0$ into a uniform magnetic field $B$ perpendicular to the plane of the paper. The centre of the sphere is at a distance $b$ from a wall. If the electron strikes the wall symmetrically with respect to the $x$-axis,what should be the magnetic field $B$ such that the charged particle just touches the wall?
