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 $OY$.
