Question

A positively charged particle, say an alpha particle projected towards the west, is deflected toward the north by a magnetic field. The direction of the magnetic field is

  1. Upward
  2. Downward
  3. Towards south
  4. Towards east

hintHint:

Upward

The correct answer is: Upward


    A positively charged particle (alpha-particle) projected towards west is deflected towards north by a magnetic field. The direction of magnetic field is Upward (Apply Fleming's left hand rule).
