Question

An electron moving in the y direction, at right angles to a magnetic field, experiences a magnetic force in the -x direction. The direction of the magnetic field is in the

Answer 1

Answer:

The direction of magnetic field is along + Z axis.

Explanation:

The direction of motion of electron is along y axis.

The magnetic  force is along - X axis.

The force on the charged particle moving in the magnetic field is

$\overrightarrow{F} = q (\overrightarrow{v}\times \overrightarrow{B})\\\\- F \widehat{i} = - q (v \widehat{j}\times \overrightarrow{B})$

So, the direction of the magnetic field is along + Z axis.
