Answer

a) Out of the page. b) Upward.

Work Step by Step

$$\color{blue}{\bf [a]}$$ Recalling that $$\vec F=q\vec v\times \vec B $$ So according to the right-hand rule for a positive charge, the magnetic field $\vec B$ must be out of the page. $$\color{blue}{\bf [b]}$$ According to the right-hand rule for a negative charge, which is opposite the direction determined by the right-hand rule for a positive charge, the magnetic field $\vec B$ must be upward.
