Answer #1

Yes, it is possible.

When a charge particle undergoes circular motion in the region of external magnetic field, the magnetic force acts as a centripetal force, which is perpendicular to the velocity, therefore the magnetic force doesn't do any work, and there is no change in kinetic energy of the charge particle.
