4.Moving Charges and Magnetism
easy

A very long straight wire carries a current $I$. At the instant when a charge $ + Q$ at point $P$ has velocity $\overrightarrow V $, as shown, the force on the charge is

A

Opposite to $OX$

B

Along $OX$

C

Opposite to $OY$

D

Along $OY$

(AIPMT-2005)

Solution

(d) Magnetic field produced by wire at the location of charge is perpendicular to the paper inwards. Hence by applying Fleming's left hand rule, force is directed along $OY$.
