Explanation / Answer

follow right hand rule

Your right thumb is in the direction of velocity, your fingers point in the direction of magnetic field, and then your palm points in the direction of magnetic force.

(1)

Your right thumb should point into the page, your fingers should point up, and then the palm of your hand points to the right (East).

(2)

Your right thumb should point to the right, your fingers should point into the page, and then the palm of yourhand points up (North).

(3)

Your right thumb should be facing down, your fingers out of the page, and then the palm of your hand points to the left (West).

(4)

The velocity and the magnetic field are not parallel, so there is no force.

(5)

Your right thumb should point out of the page, your fingers should point to the left, and then the palm of your hand points down (South).

(6)

Your right thumb should point up, your fingers should point to the right, and then the palm of your hand points into the page.
