In which direction does the magnetic force on a moving charge act?
AOpposite to velocity
BAlong the field B
CNormal to both v and B
DAlong the velocity v
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Normal to both v and B
The cross product v × B is perpendicular to both vectors, so the force is sideways to the motion and the field.
