00:01 In this problem we have been given that there is an electron and this electron is moving towards the left direction and it's moving in the region of magnetic field such that the direction of the magnetic field vector is into this page.
00:16 So let's consider the screen as the page and the magnetic field direction is into the screen and we are required to determine the direction in which this electron will experience magnetic force.
00:29 So as we know that, electron is negatively charged particle and we know that the direction of the current is opposed to the direction of motion of the negative charge.
00:40 So as the electron moves to the left, the current here, we take the direction of the current as the right direction...
