Practise IB Physics HL D.2.10 by analysing magnetic-field geometry around wires, coils, magnets and electron currents.
This question is in two parts. Part 1 is about photoelectricity. Part 2 is about electrical and magnetic force fields.
Part 1 Photoelectricity
The diagram shows two isolated electrons, X and Y , initially at rest in a vacuum. The initial separation of the electrons is 5.0 mm . The electrons subsequently move apart in the directions shown.

The diagram shows Y as seen from X , at one instant. Y is moving into the plane of the paper. For this instant, draw on the diagram the shape and direction of the magnetic field produced by Y .
