To determine the direction of the magnetic field when an electron beam is projected along the +X-axis and experiences a force along the +Y-axis, we can use Fleming's Left Hand Rule. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Identify the Direction of Current - The electron beam is moving along the +X-axis. Since electrons have a negative charge, the conventional current (which flows in the opposite direction to the flow of electrons) will be in the -X direction. ### Step 2: Identify the Direction of Force - The problem states that the force experienced by the electron beam is along the +Y-axis. ...
