At a certain instant, a proton is moving in the positive x direction through a magnetic field in the negative z direction. What is the direction of the magnetic force exerted on the proton

positive y direction

Explanation:

we know that direction of velocity is in +x direction

now the magnetic force is in negative z direction

therefore the magnetic force , F = q × ( v × B)

F = ( i × [ - k ] ) direction

F = j direction

so the direction of the magnetic force on the proton is positive y direction.

dang that balls went far

report!

explanation:

physics means: "the branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. the subject matter of physics, distinguished from that of chemistry and biology, includes mechanics, heat, light and other radiation, sound, electricity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms."
