The electron is falling vertically downwards so the direction of current will be vertically upward.. By using flemings left hand rule- i-vertically up....... B-towards north..... so F-towards westOr if u want to find ans using eqtn f=q (v×B) (Always consider that we are sitting in south)So now, v=+j B=-k so j×-k=-i :)
