An electron having a charge $e$ moves with velocity $\vec{v}$ in $+x$ -direction. An electric field acts on it in $+y$ -direction. The force on the electron acts along (a) $+z$ -direction (b) $-z$ -direction (c) $+y$ -direction (d) $-y$ -direction
An electron moving in the direction of the +x-axis enters a magnetic field. If the electron experiences a magnetic deflection in the -y direction, the direction of the magnetic field in this region points in the direction of the:
