Cosmic rays are high-speed particles from space that they reach the Earth from all directions. Its origin is currently the object of studies. The Earth has a magnetic field similar to that created by a bar-shaped magnet. cylindrical, whose axis coincides with the Earth's magnetic axis. A cosmic particle P, with a positive electric charge, when still far from Earth, it approaches by traversing a line that coincides with the Earth's magnetic axis, as shown in Figure 7. Disdaining the gravitational attraction, we can say that the particle, when approaching the Earth: a) increases its speed and does not deviate from its straight path. b) decreases its speed and does not deviate from its straight path. c) has its trajectory deviated to the east. d) has its trajectory shifted to the west. e) does not change its speed or deviate from its straight path.
