Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) East

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The force on a moving charge in a magnetic field is given by the Lorentz force formula \(\vec{F} = q(\vec{v} \times \vec{B})\). Here, the charge \(q\) is negative. The velocity vector \(\vec{v}\) is directed upward (along the positive z-axis, \(\hat{k}\)), and the magnetic field…
