NEETPhysicsMoving Charges and MagnetismMCQ+4 / −1
A very long straight wire carries a current . At the instant when a charge +Q at point P has velocity , as shown, the force on the charge is


- Aalong Oy
- Bopposite to Oy
- Calong Ox
- Dopposite to Ox
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
The direction of is due to i is acting inwards i.e. into the paper along .
The magnetic force
So, is along Oy direction.
