A particle of mass m = 1.5 x 10-16 kg and charge q = 2.3 × 10-16 C first accelarates under a potential difference of V = 103 V then enters a uniform magnetic field of a magnetic field vector directed vertically to the path of the particle. It is observed that the particle comes out of the uniform B field region in the reverse direction with a trajectory paralell to the original path which is shifted by Ax as seen in the figure below.
