so the particle moves about the magnetic field and not along it that is not parallel to magnetic field. it was confusing me since long. the video was very helpful. thanks to uploader.

The initial velocity of this charge was not perpendicular to the magnetic field lines, and that is why it moves on helix instead of just a circle?

Yes, you are right.

Is this how magnetrons work?

the horizontal component is just like circular motion isn't it?

postmoderntool: i believe it turns clockwise because its a positive charge. If it were a negative charge eg. an electron as in seljer's equation, then it would turn the other way.
