Question
away from the magnet
the beam will not be deflected.
downwards
towards the magnet
upwards
Step1: Identify the applicable rule
Use the right - hand rule for magnetic force on a current - carrying conductor.
Step2: Apply the right - hand rule
Point the thumb in the direction of the current, fingers in the direction of the magnetic field (out of the N - pole of the magnet), and the palm will show the direction of the force. Here, assuming the current direction as shown and the magnetic field direction from the N - pole, the force on the conductor is downwards.
