and the charged particle is moving along the positive x axis Fig 4 4 the magnetic field is parallel to the positive y axis which way would the Lorentz force be for a an electron negative charge b a proton positive charge Z XX xxxx xxx xx x y xxxxx XX XX xx xXxxxx xxxxxxxxx FIGURE 4 4 Xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx XX x Solution The velocity v of particle is along the x axis while B the magnetic field is along the y axis so v x B is along the z axis screw rule or right hand thumb rule So a for electron it will be along axis b for a positive charge proton the force is along z axis
