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).
