Problem
An ionized gas contains both positive and negative ions. If it is subjected simultaneously to an electric field along the +x-direction and a magnetic field along the +z-direction, then [2000S]
(1) positive ions deflect towards +y-direction and negative ions towards −y direction
(2) all ions deflect towards +y-direction
(3) all ions deflect towards −y-direction
(4) positive ions deflect towards −y-direction and negative ions towards +y-direction.
