Question
Suppose that a horizontal electron beam is deflected to the right by a uniform magnetic field. What is the direction of the magnetic field? If there is more than one possibility, what can you say about the direction of the field?
Step 1
We have an electron beam moving horizontally, and it is deflected to the right by a magnetic field. We need to determine the direction of the magnetic field. Show more…

Figure $22.34$ shows an electron beam whose initial direction of motion is horizontal, from right to left. A magnetic field deflects the beam downward. What is the direction of the magnetic field?
Imagine that you are sitting in a chamber with your back to one wall. An electron beam, moving horizontally from back wall towards the front wall, is deflected by a strong magnetic field to your right side. What is the direction of magnetic field?
An electron beam projected along positive $x$ -axis deflects along the positive $y$ -axis. If this deflection is caused by a magnetic field, what is the direction of the field?
