Answer #1

When the charge moves downwards the current flows and magnetic field is generated.

We'll use right hand palm rule,

Thumb shows the direction of current , fingers shows the direction of magnetic field and palm shows the direction of force.

Here the direction of current "I" is downwards and the direction of magnetic field "B" is left side of the currents. So, according to right hand palm rule the direction of force "F" is

backwards

Or if we consider plane then direction of Force is inside the plane

So, we find that the direction of force is backwards.
