- MCQ
A negative test charge is moving near a long straight wire carrying a current. The force acting on the test charge is parallel to the direction of the current. The motion of the charge is
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) towards the wire
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The force is parallel to the direction of current in magnetic field,
hence \(\mathrm{F}=\mathrm{q}(\mathrm{v} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}})\)
According to Fleming's left hand rule,
we have, the direction of motion of charge is towards the wire.
