The trajectory of a charged particle in a uniform magnetic field is a helix if v has

Question:

The trajectory of a charged particle in a uniform magnetic field is a helix if v→ has components both parallel to and perpendicular to the field. Explain how the two other cases (circular motion for v|| = 0 and straight line motion for v⊥ = 0) can each be considered to be special cases of helical motion.
