how does an electron bend or what would be its trajectory when it enters the magnetic field at an angle other than 90 degree ? how will it emerge out of the bending magnet ? what kind of trajectory will it describe ?
 

If this angle between 0 and 90 degrees (Pi / 2) is in a plane orthogonal to the magnetic field, its trajectory will be helical, instead of circular.
