'B Proton A proton is fired in the direction shown, up the page: It runs into uniform magnetic field pointing to the right: In which direction does the Lorentz force point? Left Into the page Up Out of the page Right Down'
Added by Clara G.
Step 1
A proton has a positive charge, so it experiences a force in the opposite direction of the magnetic field. Show more…

A proton moves perpendicularly to crossed electric and magnetic fields as shown in the figure. What is the direction of the net force on the proton? a) toward the left b) toward the right c) into the page d) out of the page
A proton is projected into a magnetic field that is directed along the positive $x$ axis. Find the direction of the magnetic force exerted on the proton for each of the following directions of the proton's velocity: (a) the positive $y$ direction, (b) the negative $y$ direction, (c) the positive $x$ direction.
