The magnetic force on a charged particle 1) depends on the sign of the charge on the particle. 2) depends on the velocity of the particle. 3) depends on the magnetic field at the particle's instantaneous position. 4) is at right angles to both the velocity and the direction of the magnetic field. 5) is described by all of these.

A positively charged particle moves with speed v in the positive x direction. A uniform magnetic field of magnitude B exists in the negative z direction. You want to balance the magnetic force with an electric field so that the particle will continue along a straight line. The electric field should be in the 1) positive x direction. 2) positive z direction. 3) negative y direction. 4) negative x direction. 5) negative z direction.
