What is the direction of the force acting on a charged particle moving with velocity in a uniform magnetic field ?

Answer: Perpendicular to the plane containing and .

Solution

The force is . A cross product is always perpendicular to both vectors, so is normal to the plane formed by and (its sense given by the right-hand rule and the sign of ).
