4.Moving Charges and Magnetism
easy
An electron having a charge e moves with a velocity $v$ in positive $x$ direction. A magnetic field acts on it in positive $y$ direction. The force on the electron acts in (where outward direction is taken as positive $z$-axis).
A
Negative direction of $y$-axis
B
Positive direction of $y$-axis
C
Positive direction of $z$-axis
D
Negative direction of $z$-axis
Solution

(d)
$\vec{F}=-e(\vec{v} \times \bar{B})$
So using right hand thumb rule $\vec{F}$ will be in $-z$ direction.
