Answer:
The direction is due south
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The energy of the electron is
The earths magnetic field is
Generally the force on the electron is perpendicular to the velocity of the elecrton and the magnetic field and this is mathematically reresented as
On the first uploaded image is an illustration of the movement of the electron
Looking at the diagram we can see that in terms of direction the magnetic force is
generally i cross k = -j
so the equation above becomes
This show that the direction is towards the south
