Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
A

When a charge q moves with velocity inside magnetic field of strength , then force on charge is called magnetic Lorents force. The magnetic Lorentz force is in direction of vector

Magnetic Lorenz force. The magnetic Lorentz forcer is in the direction of .

Magnetic Lorentz force

= – 2 × 10 –6

= 8 N along negative z-axis
