Solution
An alpha particle enters a uniform magnetic field as shown. The direction of force experienced by the alpha particle is out of the page.
Explanation:
According to Fleming's Left-Hand Rule, the current flows in the direction of the alpha particle, the field points in the direction of the paper's right side, and the force is directed out of the paper by the thumb.

The graph (fig A) illustrates the correlation between the number of protons (x-axis) and the number of neutrons (y-axis) for elements A, B, C, D, and E in the periodic table. These elements are denoted by the letters rather than their conventional symbols. When the element C, depicted in the graph, undergoes radioactive decay, it releases radioactive rays. When these rays are directed into the plane of the paper in the presence of a magnetic field, as indicated in the fig B, they experience deflection, causing them to move upwards.
