Find the direction of the force acting on the particle moving at velocity v in a

Question

Find the direction of the force acting on the particle moving at velocity v in a magnetic field B for each diagram. Draw the vector force, For the positive charge (a) Force direction is OUT of the page, for the negative charge (b) Force direction is DOWN on the plane of the picture. b For the positive charge (a) Force direction is INTO of the page, for the negative charge (b) Force direction is DOWN on the plane of the picture. For the positive charge (a) Force direction is TO THE RIGHT, for the negative charge (b) Force direction is UP on the plane of the picture. For the positive charge (a) Force direction is TO THE LEFT of the page, for the negative charge (b) Force direction is UP on the plane of the picture.

Explanation / Answer

From the right hand rule, show the streched fingers of righ hand along the direction of the velocity of the positive charge, curl the fingers towards the direction of the magnetic field. the streched thumb shows the direction of the magnetic force on the charges.

if the charge is negative, the direction of thge force is opposite to the above discussed direction.

The option (A) is correct answer.
