Reese Rubio · Answer 1

The direction of the force on a charged object moving through a magnetic field.

Explanation:

When considering the motion of a charged particle in a magnetic field, the important vectors are the magnetic field B, the velocity of the particle v, and the magnetic force exerted on the particle F. The vectors are all perpendicular to each other. As demonstrated by the right-hand rule.
