A wire moves with a velocity v through a magnetic field and experiences an induced charge separation as shown. What is the direction of the magnetic field?
A) into the page
B) towards the bottom of the page
C) towards the right
D) out of the page
E) towards the top of the page
The correct option is: (A) into the page
Explanation:
Focus on a single + charge in the wire that gets pushed to the right. So this + charge is moving down with a force directed right, based on RHRflat, the magnetic field must point into the page.
