Vocaloid:

F = qvB then use the right hand rule to find the direction of the force

zarkam21:

wait so a little confused on the values

Vocaloid:

q = charge v = velocity B = magnetic field strength

zarkam21:

0.000500 * 4.20

Vocaloid:

don't forget the velocity

zarkam21:

0.000500 * 4.20 * (2.50*10^5)

zarkam21:

=525

Vocaloid:

awesome, and do you remember the units of force?

zarkam21:

N

Vocaloid:

awesome so 525N now for the direction, use the RHR to find the direction of the force by first aligning your first/middle fingers in the direction of the velocity and field like so:

Vocaloid:

|dw:1523655040038:dw|

Vocaloid:

lmk if you're stuck, this is kind of hard to explain over the internet ^_^"

zarkam21:

okay so I know where each value would go, now what do I do

Vocaloid:

the charge is moving to the right so that's velocity, point your index finger to the right the field is going away from you, so point your middle finger straight away from you then stick your thumb out at a 90 degree angle what direction is your thumb pointing?

zarkam21:

up

Vocaloid:

awesome so your final sol'n is 525N up
