<em>The magnitude of the magnetic field will act in a direction towards me.</em>
<em></em>
Explanation:
When a charged particle enters a magnetic field, it is deflected. The direction of travel of the particle is deflected, but the kinetic energy of the particle is not affected. <em>The force experienced by a charged particle as it enters a magnetic field that acts perpendicular to the path of the velocity of the particle, will produce a force that is perpendicular to both the direction of travel of the particle and the direction of the magnetic field.</em> In this case, the proton moves in the y-direction, the magnetic field is in the x-direction, therefore the force experienced by the particle will be towards me.
Of course! If it's harmful, then your exposure to it should be kept to a minimum. That's a no-brainer. But the sun's infrared radiation is generally less harmful than its ultraviolet radiation is.
