Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We shall show all given data in vector form and calculate the direction of force with the help of following formula
force F = q ( v x B )
q is charge , v is velocity and B is magnetic field.
Given B = - Bk ( i is right , j is upwards and k is straight up the page )
v = v j
F = q ( vj x - Bk )
= -Bqvi
The direction is towards left .
a ) If velocity is down
v = - v j
F = q ( - vj x - bk )
= qvB i
Direction is right .
b ) v = v i
F = q ( vi x - Bk )
= qvB j
force is upwards
c ) v = - vi
F = q ( -vi x - Bk )
= -qvBj
force is downwards
d ) v = - v k
F = q( - vk x -Bk )
= 0
No force will be created
e ) v = v k
F = q( vk x -Bk )
= 0
No force will be created
