centripetal force. The ion will follow semicircular path in the magnetic field.
Applying the right-hand rule, positive-charged and negative-charged ions will be 0.5
deflected to the left and to the right, respectively.
So, the ion in the figure is positive-charged.

b) When the current in the solenoid is increasing and has the direction as shown
 0.25
in the figure, the solenoid’s magnetic field B directs to the right and the magnetic
flux through the coil is increasing. According to the Lenz’s law, the induced
current has the direction so that its magnetic field is in the opposite direction of

B . Then the induced current’s direction is upward as in the figure.
