Solution:

The magnetic force on a moving charge in electric field is given by

Where, is the velocity vector and is the magnetic field.
The direction of the magnetic field due to the current-carrying circular loop is along its axis.
As the direction of electron velocity is along magnetic field lines, the magnetic force .
