Physics Question on Moving charges and magnetism

A magnetic field B=B0j^B=B_0 \widehat{j} exists in the region a < x < 2 a and B=B0j^B=-B_0 \widehat{j} in the region 2a < x < 3a, where B0B_0 is a positive constant. A positive point charge moving with a velocityvv0i^v-v_0 \widehat{i} where v0v_0 is a positive constant, enters the magnetic field at x = a. The trajectory of the charge in this region can be like

A

B

C

D

Answer

Explanation

Solution

Fm=q(v×B)F_m=q(v \times B)
\therefore Correct option is (a)
