Two very long, straight, parallel wires carry steady currents $I$ and $-I$ respectively. The distance  etween the wires is $d$. At a certain instant of time, a point charge $q$ is at a point equidistant from the two wires, in the plane of the wires. Its instantaneous velocity $v$ is perpendicular to the plane of wires. The magnitude of the force due to the magnetic field acting on the charge at this instant is

A particle of mass $m$ and charge $q$ , moving with velocity $V$ enters region $II$ normal to the boundary as shown in the figure. Region $II$ has a uniform magnetic field $B$ perpendicular to the plane of the paper. The length of the region $II$ is $l$ . Choose the not correct choice

An electron having a charge e moves with a velocity $v$ in positive $x$ direction. A magnetic field acts on it in positive $y$ direction. The force on the electron acts in (where outward direction is taken as positive $z$-axis).
