Answer:
(b) EAST
Explanation:
you can assume that the magnetic field points rightward, that is, in the positive x direction (NORTH). Furthermore, you can assume that the direction of the motion of the electron is in the positive y direction. Hence, you have:
You use the Lorentz formula to known which is the direction of the magnetic force over the electron:
which implies the cross product between the unitary vecors j and i, that is
(WEST)
However, the minus sign of the charge of the electron changes the direction 180°. Hence, the direction is k. That is, to the EAST
