Solution

The correct option is A Left
Given:


From the given information, we can take the directions of v and B along Y and Z directions, respectively.

So, ^v=^j and ^B=^k

Where, ^j and ^k are unit vectors along Y and Z directions, respectively.


Now, the direction of magnetic force on a charged particle is,

^Fm=^v×^B=^j×^k=^i

As the charge q is negative, so the direction of F will be towards left.
