A proton with a velocity in the positive x-direction enters a region where there is a uniform magnetic field B in the positive y-direction. You want to balance the magnetic force with an electric force so that the proton will continue along a straight line. The electric field should be in the:

- positive x-direction

- positive z-direction

- negative y-direction

- negative x-direction

- negative z-direction

- negative z-direction

Explanation:

First of all, we have to determine the direction of the magnetic force acting on the proton.

The direction of the magnetic force acting on a moving charge can be determined by using the right hand rule. For a positively charged particle:

- Index finger: direction of the motion of the particle

- Middle finger: direction of the magnetic field

- Thumb: direction of the force

For a negatively charged particle, the direction of the thumb must be reversed.

In this problem, we have a proton (positive charge), and we have:

- Direction of motion: positive x

- Direction of the field: positive y

Therefore, by using the right-hand rule, we see that the thumb points towards z-positive direction: so, this is the direction of the magnetic force.

Therefore, the proton is deviated towards z-positive direction due to the magnetic force; in order to balance this and make the proton continuing along a straight line, the electric force must be in the z-negative direction.

The electric force experienced by a charged particle has the same direction of the electric field (if the charge is positive) or opposite direction (if the charge is negative): in this problem, the proton is positive, so the direction of the electric field must be the same of the force, therefore

-  negative z-direction

answer: the direction of the wind is expressed as the direction from which the wind is blowing. for example, easterly winds blow from east to west, while westerly winds blow from west to east.

explanation:

absorption lines are where light has been absorbed by the atom thus you see a dip in the spectrum whereas.

emission spectra have spikes in the spectra due to atoms releasing photons at those wavelengths.
