As we discussed in concept

Direction of Force (Right hand screw rule) -

The force  \underset{F}{\rightarrow} is always perpendicular to both \underset{V}{\rightarrow} and \underset{B}{\rightarrow} whereas \underset{V}{\rightarrow} and \underset{B}{\rightarrow} may or may not be perpendicular to each other 

- wherein

 

 

 

Force is always perpendicular to displacement hence Work done by the magnetic field = zero.
