An electron travels in the $+x$ -direction in a magnetic field and is acted on by a magnetic force in the $-y$ -direction. (a) In which of the following directions could the magnetic field be oriented: $(1)-x,(2)+y$ (3) $+z,$ or $(4)-z ?$ Explain. $(b)$ If the electron speed is $3.0 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ and the magnitude of the force is $5.0 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{~N},$ what is the magnetic field strength?
An electron moving in the +y direction, at right angles to a magnetic field, experiences a magnetic force in the -x direction. The direction of the magnetic field is in the a. -x direction b. +x direction c. +y direction d. -z direction e. +z direction

1) A proton is traveling in the +x direction and feels a magnetic force in the -z direction. Which direction is the magnetic field pointing in? (-x, +x, -y, +y, -z. +z) 2) An electron travels in the +z direction through a magnetic field pointing in the +y direction. What electron feels a magnetic force act on it in what direction? (-x, +x, -y, +y, -z. +z)
