Biot-Savart law indicates that the moving electrons (velocity v) produce a magnetic field B such that

Moving electron is just like current flowing in a straight wire and velocity of electron is opposite to the current flow. And according to Biot-savart law:


, where


μo is magnetic permeability in vacuum,


q is charge of the particle,


v is constant velocity vector of particle,


and r is the displacement vector for point we want to calculate the magnetic field;


for a charge moving with constant velocity v. So, B will be perpendicular to v and r as B is cross product of v and r.


Hence, our answer is option (a).
