Moving Charges and Magnetism

Question:

A charge of 5 μC moves with a speed of $2 × 10^6 m/s$ along the positive y-axis. A magnetic field $\vec B$ of strength $(2\hat i +\hat k)T$ exists in space. The magnetic force acting on the charge is :

Options:

$(-20\hat k + 10\hat i) N$

$(20\hat k - 10\hat i) N$

$(20\hat k + 10\hat i) N$

$(10\hat i + 5\hat k) N$

Correct Answer:

$(-20\hat k + 10\hat i) N$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → $(-20\hat k + 10\hat i) N$
