Q16.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: (1) Away from the wire (2) Towards the wire (3) Parallel to the wire along the current (4) Parallel to the wire opposite to the current

What This Question Tests

This question tests the application of the right-hand rule to determine the magnetic field direction and the Lorentz force formula for a negative charge, specifically finding the motion direction given the force direction.

Concepts Tested
