Question
In a region a uniform magnetic field acts in horizontal plane towards north. If cosmic particles (80% protons) falling vertically downwards, then they are deflected towards
Options
A.North
B.South
C.East
D.West
Solution
Cosmic particles majorly (90%) proton and 7% alpha particle. Means positively charged and earth magnetic field is from south to north Thus force will be in East direction.
