What is the direction of the magnetic force on a positive charge that moves as shown in each of the six cases shown in the image below? (Note: (a) has a label by mistake; all green arrows are meant to be velocity. This note will be removed when fixed figure is available from openstax.) (a) (c) (e) (b) (d) Case is out of the page, is down. Case is to the right, is up. Case is in, is to the right. Case is to the right, is to the left. Case e: is up, is into the page. Case is to the left, is out of the page. The direction of force in (a) is (f) direction in is , direction in (d) is , direction in (e) is , and direction in (f) is u.

Expert Answer



the magnetic force on a moving charged particle is given by
  
here q is charged particle (here proton)
v is velocity
B is the magnetic field

hence   

force direction is directly proportional to the cross product of vector v and B
