Physics · electromagnetism
Problem
Near the geographic north pole is the magnetic north pole which is, in fact, a south magnetic pole. At this point, the earth's magnetic field points straight down. An electron is projected southwards and horizontally from the magnetic north pole. The magnetic force on the electron will cause it to be deflected to the,
(a) Up
(b) Down
(c) East
(d) West
