    Case A: - x axis

    Case B: - x axis

    Case C: no force as the direction of v and B are parallel.

    Explanation:

    Solution:

    - The direction of Force exerted by the magnetic field B with a moving charge q with a velocity of v is given by an expression:

    F = q * (v x B)

    - Where F: force vector exerted by the field

    v: velocity vector of charged particle q.

    B: magnetic field direction

    - The cross product of v with B:

    We will use right hand rule in which our fingers curl from v to B, the direction of the thumb denotes the direction of applied force. Hence,

    Case A: - x axis

    Case B: - x axis

    Case C: no force as the direction of v and B are parallel.
