Direction of Force (Right Hand Rule)The direction of the force on a particle from the magnetic field is not as straightforward as the force and electric field. You have to use the Right Hand Rule (RHR) todetermine the direction because it is not the same as the direction of the magnetic|field.In the image below a charged particle is moving. The direction of motion is shownwith the arrow labeled v (velocity). The magnetic field is also shown with additionalarrows (labeled B).B (Magnetic Field)v (velocity –into the page)Proton +What is the direction of the Force on this particle in this Magnetic Field? Make sureto consider the particle (electron or proton) as that will have an effect on the answer.Note: For those of you in or who have taken higher levels of calculus, this direction isalso the result of doing a cross product matrix. You can figure out the answer thisway without dislocating your wrist :)+ x (to the right)- y (downward)-x (to the left)- z (into the screen away from you)+ z (out of the screen towards you)+ y (upward)No ForceO O O
