Question

A negative charge is moving upwards in a magnetic field directed towards the north. The particle will be deflected towards

  1. West
  2. North
  3. South
  4. East

hintHint:

West

The correct answer is: West


    If the negative charge is moving upwards the corresponding current is also upwards, the magnetic field is towards the south. Using Fleming's left hand rule force is towards West and deflection towards West.
