Question

I am not sure which is the correct answer... I believe it is letter "f" if I have done the right hand rule correctly, but I am 100% sure... Here is the question:

A point charge Q moving in a uniform magnetic field of 1.01 T experiences a force of 8.03×10-13 N. The velocity of the charge is perpendicular to the magnetic field. If the magnetic field points South and the force points out of the page, then choose the single correct answer. (In this problem we use the points of the compass for directions on the paper with North pointing to the top of the page, and 'into' and 'out of' to indicate directions with respect to the page.)
a. Q is positive, moving West.
b. Q is negative, moving West.
c. Q is positive, moving North.
d. Q is negative, moving North.
e. Q is negative, moving South.
f. Q is positive, moving East.

Explanation / Answer

from the right hand rule Q is positive and direction is west direction
