and
flow along
and
directions respectively. The force on a charged particle having charge
, moving from position,
with velocity
is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B

The magnetic field due to the wire along
direction at
is

Similarly, magnetic field due to wire along
direction at
is

Resultant magnetic field at point
due to both the wires,


Force on the charged particles,
