The figure shows three situations when an electron moves with velocity $\vec v$ through a uniform magnetic field $\vec B$. In each case,what is the direction of the magnetic force on the electron?

  • A
    $+ve\, z$-axis,$-ve\, x$-axis,$+ve\, y$-axis
  • B
    $-ve\, z$-axis,$-ve\, x$-axis and zero
  • C
    $+ve\, z$-axis,$+ve\, x$-axis and zero
