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
  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

Answer

(A) positive ions deflect towards +y-direction and negative ions towards -y-direction
