Question in the attachments

Refer to diagram 2.
Two "infinite" wires are parallel to the z axis:
- Wire 1 passes through the positive y-axis, carrying current /1 into the page.
- Wire 2 passes through the positive x-axis, carrying current /2 out of the page.
Negative charge -q moves at velocity v in the positive z-direction along the z-axis (out of the page).
At the instant q passes through the origin, the direction of the net force on the charge is in the x-y plane, and can be
represented by a vector that starts at the origin and points
o along the positive y-axis
O into the fourth quadrant
o along the negative x-axis
o along the negative y-axis
o into the second quadrant
o into the first quadrant
o no force is felt by the charge
o along the positive x-axis
O into the third quadrant

Expert Solution

Step 1

Given

Direction of current in wire 1 = into the page

Direction of current in the wire 2 = out of the page

Direction of motion of the positive charge q = +z axis.

Step 2

According to the right hand thumb rule, the direction of magnetic field due to the wire 1 at the origin is towards the - x axis, and the direction of magnetic field due to the wire 2 is in the -y axis, as a result the direction of the net magnetic field due to the two current carrying wires will be in the third quadrant.
