?A radioactive element emits ? (alpha), ?( beta),?(gamma)radiations . ? are positively charged, ?are negatively charged and ?are neutral. ?enters uniform magnetic field from east towards west. Direction of magnetic field is from south to north. What is the direction of Force?

Dear student According to Fleming's left hand rule, if we arrange the thumb, the center finger and the forefinger of the left hand at right angles to each other, then the thumb points towards the direction of the magnetic force, the centre finger gives the direction of current and the forefinger points in the direction of magnetic field. Since the direction of alpha particle is towards north, the direction of current will be same i.e. north. Thus, according to the above rule the direction of force will be downwards. Regards
