What direction is the magnetic force on a positively charged proton moving east through a uniform magnetic field directed straight upwards (out of the ground)?
Direct Answer: Lorentz Magnetic Force on Moving Charges is defined by: South (toward the right via the Right-Hand Rule). Using the Right-Hand Rule for F = q(v × B): Pointer finger points East (velocity), middle finger points Up (field), thumb points South (force).
Detailed Step-by-Step Explanation:
Using the Right-Hand Rule for F = q(v × B): Pointer finger points East (velocity), middle finger points Up (field), thumb points South (force).
