2012-09-27 10:06:49 | The answer is definitely B. As you can see, test charge is negative and the official solution points it out. But in the answer this is not considered.
Assume that:
In this situation, direction of magnetic field is in the right hand side along  and is along  in the left hand side of wire, so we can write , by Loentz force law(we take q to be positive and enter a minus to indicate negativity of charge):
)
Force should be parallel to the current, so we take  and  , where  should be positive.
So,  is negative and charge is moving away from the wire.

Uh if Vy is negative then it is moving TOWARD the wire, not away from it. Also the answer is A, if ETS gave the wrong answer you wouldn't be the only one discovering this. This test is very very old.

Define the cable as laying on the  -axis at the origin of the  and  axis. Imagine the particle is moving strictly along the y axis, starting at a point  >0. With a negative velocity (in the negative direction), the particle is moving towards the wire and the -field it encounters is in the positive -direction. If the particle starts at <0 then the direction of the -field it encounters is in the negative direction (canceling the \"-\" from the charge), thus following that the velocity of the particle must be positive (for a positive force), moving again towards the wire.

The x-component of the B-field as you\'ve taken it is negative, so you\'re off by a sign.

2009-10-31 18:12:46 | Fleming's left-hand rule (thuMb for motion, First for field, seCond for current) is used to find direction of motion (i.e. force applied) when current and field directions are known.
So the LHR will work here, if one takes into account of the direction of the CURRENT produced by negative charges (i.e. opposite to velocity direction). | | dean
2008-10-09 21:45:23 | I may be mistaken, but it seems to me the LHR yields the wrong answer here if used consistently (i.e. twice). Better to stick with the right hand (sorry southpaws) and remember sign.

not really you are probably trying to figure out the direction of the magnetic field also with LHR. The direction of the field is always with the RHR. You could find the direction the test charge should go given the direction of the field and current, with LHR. I would also suggest sticking to RHR on the real exam. Might be confusing.

2006-11-29 06:59:15 | actually, it cannot be B. the direction of the particle would be not parallel, but anti-parallel.

Anti Parallel is still parallel

not when you're talking about relative to a current

I thought anti-parallel is still parallel too, until I looked at options (A) and (B).
This problem is deceptively simple, people. Remember that if the charge is moving towards the wire its velocity vector would be negative, but this negative can be canceled out if you are using a negative test charge, resulting in the positive force direction parallel to the positive current direction. In short, the sign of the charge can affect the vector.

2006-11-02 14:25:53 | The answer could also be B. The question states parallel to the direction of the current. B would produce a force in the opposite direction to the current but this is still parallel.

yeah, i did not realize this the first time i took the test. and as i was redoing it today it hit me, this confusing thing about parallel. i feel that they should be more direct but i guess that's just the ETS. i'll have to keep an eye on my common sense of things and try to see it their way, least until test day. bottom line: to the ETS antiparallel and parallel are different.
