Question
Electrons in a TV tube move horizontally South to North. Vertical component of earth's magnetic field points down. The electron is deflected towards(A) West(B) No deflection(C) East(D) North to South
Step 1
Step 1: The force experienced by a charged particle in a magnetic field is given by the equation $F = q(v \times B)$, where $q$ is the charge of the particle, $v$ is the velocity of the particle, and $B$ is the magnetic field. Show more…

An electron is moving northward in a magnetic field. The magnetic force on the electron is toward the northeast. What is the direction of the magnetic field? A. up B. down C. west D. south E. This situation cannot exist because of the orientation of the velocity and force vectors.
Deflection A beam of electrons in a cathode-ray tube approaches the deflecting magnets. The north pole is at the top of the tube; the south pole is on the bottom. If you are looking at the tube from the direction of the phosphor screen, in which direction are the electrons deflected?
