A charged particle enters an environment of a strong and non-uniform magnetic field varying from point to point both in magnitude and direction and comes out of it following a complicated trajectory. Would its final speed equal the initial speed if it suffered no collisions with the environment?

A space-fixed magnetic field cannot do work on moving charge and hence the speed remains the same (so also KE).
