when a positively charged particle moving due north enters a magnetic field, it experiences a magnetic force directed downwards. which of these is the direction of the magnetic field
Pritesh R.
A uniform magnetic field is directed horizontally toward the north, and a positive charge is moving west through this field. Is there a magnetic force on this charge, and if so, in what direction? Explain.
