Hi Steve,

Im no expert, but the force on a charged particle (e) moving with velocity
(V) thru a magnetic field with flux density (B) is:

F = e(V X B)  note that F, V, and B are vectors and V X B is a cross product
of vectors V and B.  Otherwords, the direction of the force is perpendicular
to both vectors V and B.  If the particle is traveling say left to right and
B is horizontal crossing the particles path say from rear to front, then the
force will be down (right hand rule).
