To find:
The direction of the magnetic force.
Explanation:
The direction of the magnetic field or a magnetic force on a charged particle is given by the right-hand rule. It states that when the thumb, middle finger, and index finger are held in such a way that they are perpendicular to each other if the thumb is pointing in the direction of the positive charge and the middle finger is pointing in the direction of the magnetic force then the index finger will point in the direction of the magnetic field.
Thus applying this rule we find that the index finger will be pointing to the east.
Final answer:
Thus the direction of the magnetic field is east.
