Answer:
Magnetic field is in south west direction .
Explanation:
Let us represent various direction by i , j, k . i representing east , j representing north and k representing vertically upward direction .
magnetic field is represented vectorially as follows
B = B₀ ( - i - j )
In the first case velocity of electron
v = v k
Force = q ( v x B )
= -e [ vk x B₀ ( - i - j ) ]
= evB₀ ( j -i )
Direction of force is north -west .
In the second case velocity of electron
v = vj
Force = -e [ vj x B₀ ( - i - j ) ]
= - evB₀ k
force is downward
In the third case, velocity of electron
v = v( -j +i )
Force = -e [ v( -j +i ) x B₀ ( - i - j ) ]
= 2 evB₀ k
Force is upward.
