Given

A duck is flying east 15 m/s and simple air friction has caused the duck to have a small charge. The earths magnetic field points to the north.

To find

What direction is the magnetic force on the duck?

Explanation

Considering the current towards east

Using the Flemming's left hand rule, the magnetic force will be upwards.

Conclusion

The magnetic force will be upwards.
