for #35, shouldn't E (electric field) be pointing down since convention says electric field lines are drawn from + to -? E=F/q so the Force of E should also be pointing down right? unless question is referring to Force on the electron
for #36, my right hand rule is this
1. thumb is direction of Current(+ to -)
2. index finger is B
3. middle finger/palm is Force
so I understand for this problem my thumb should be pointing down but I'm having trouble understanding where force is pointing
