The magnetic field vector is directed vertically up. The velocity vector and the magnetic field vector are perpendicular to each other. According to the formula for the cross product, the force vector is perpendicular to both and . Using the right-hand rule for a positive charge:
Point fingers in the direction of velocity (East).
Curl fingers in the direction of the magnetic field (Up).
The thumb points in the direction of the force. This direction is South. The force is initially directed towards the South. The velocity is East. Since the force is perpendicular to the velocity, it acts as a centripetal force, causing the particle to move in a circular path. The force vector lies in the East-South direction, which is horizontal. Since the force is always in the horizontal plane (perpendicular to the vertical B-field), the particle's motion will be confined to a horizontal circular path. The magnetic force does no work on the charged particle because the force is always perpendicular to the direction of motion (velocity). Since no work is done, the kinetic energy of the particle remains constant. Therefore, the speed of the particle remains the same. Combining these findings, the alpha particle will move in a horizontal circular path with the same speed.
