A moving charge (or an electron) has a magnetic field around it. When it is moved in an external magnetic field in such a way that its direction of motion is not parallel to applied magnetic field. then both the fields interact to produce a FORCE on electron.

Or you may say that A moving charge, when placed in a magnetic field , experiences a force given by:

F=q(V*B) .

In this equation, a CROSS PRODUCT is present between velocity "V" and magnetic strength "B" , SO direction of resultant force is at right angle to both V and B. hence force acts at angle of 90 degrees to displacement and hence does no work to change its speed.

There are interactions between electric and magnetic forces. The exact reasons are quite complicated, so it is best just to accept that electric and magnetic fields are somehow related.

It is acceleration that changes speed. The magnetic field can create acceleration a=qvB/m to change the electrons speed.

How does the Earth's magnetic field deflect charged particles?

A charged particle naturally changes direction in a magnetic field. This is because any charged particle produces a magnetic field when it is moving. And if the charged particle is moving through a magnetic field, the two fields (in this case the Earth's and the one created by the moving particle) interact to deflect the particle. The particle will be deflected "to the side" or laterally, and positively charged particles will be deflected in the opposite direction of negatively charged one.
