The force on the projectile is
Explanation of Solution
The right hand rule states that in the case of a cross product, if the index finger of the right hand points in the direction of the first vector and the second vector points in the direction of the middle finger, then the cross product will point in the direction of the thumb. Magnetic force on a current carrying wire is the product of the current through the wire and the cross product of the vector, whose magnitude is the length of the wire and is points in the direction of current, and the magnetic field.
Right hand rule for the magnetic force on a current carrying conductor can be described as if the index finger of the right hand points in the direction of current, the middle finger in the direction of the magnetic field, then the thumb will point in the direction of the magnetic force. In the given situation, the current flows into the page and the magnetic field is directed upward. According to the right hand rule, the magnetic force on the projectile is directed to the right.
