An electron having a charge $e$ moves with a velocity $\vec{v}$ in the positive $x$-direction. $A$ magnetic field $\vec{B}$ acts on it in the positive $y$-direction. The force on the electron acts in (where the outward direction is taken as the positive $z$-axis):

  • A
    Negative direction of $y$-axis
  • B
    Positive direction of $y$-axis
  • C
    Positive direction of $z$-axis
  • D
    Negative direction of $z$-axis
