If a magnetic field is pointing to the right ( >), and I have a moving negative charge moving up (^), then what should be the direction of the magnetic force?

Use the right hand rule:

Remember, current is direction of POSITIVE flow. With a moving negative charge, the current is in the opposite direction.

You ought to arrive at a force towards you (out of the page/screen).

Yep, just double-checking. Thanks!
