Answer:
To your left
Explanation:
The direction of the force exerted on charged particle due to a magnetic field is given by the right-hand-rule, where:
- The index finger indicates the direction of motion of the electron
- the middle finger gives the direction of the magnetic field
- the thumb gives the direction of the force if the particle is positively charged - otherwise, the direction is reversed
in this case, we have an electron (so, a negatively charged particle):
- The direction of motion (index finger) is horizontal, toward you
- The electron begins to curve upward as it enters the field, so this means that the force exerted on the electrons is upward --> the thumb must point downward (because the electron is negatively charged)
- The index finger gives us the direction of the magnetic field: therefore, to your left.

All you have to do is multiply that by the mass or volume.
