B Correct answer
Explanation
The magnetic effect of an electric current was discovered by Hans Christian Oersted in 1820. He demonstrated the effect by plotting compass close to a long straight wire which is carrying current and noting it's deflection. And the by reversing the direction of the current, the compass needle was deflected in the opposite sense.

A moving charge produces

  1. Neither electric field nor magnetic field

  2. Electro-static field only

  3. Magnetic field only

  4. Both magnetic and electro-static field

D Correct answer
Explanation

A charged particle produces an electric field around it independent of its motion. But when it is at rest, it doesn't produce a magnetic field. 

When it starts moving, it additionally produces a magnetic field too.

If an electron is moving with velocity $\bar{v}$ produces a magnetic field $\bar{B}$, then

  1. the direction of field $\bar{B}$ will be same as the direction of velocity $\bar{v}$
  2. the direction of field $\bar{B}$ will be opposite as the direction of velocity $\bar{v}$
  3. the direction of field $\bar{B}$ will be perpendicular as the direction of velocity $\bar{v}$
  4. the direction of field $\bar{B}$ does not depend upon the direction of velocity $\bar{v}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

According to Biot-Savart's law, the magnetic field
$\displaystyle \overset{\rightarrow}{B} = \frac{\mu _o}{4 \pi} . \frac{q (\overset{\rightarrow}{v} \times \overset{\rightarrow}{r} ) }{r^3}$
The direction of $\overset{\rightarrow}{B}$ will be along $\overset{\rightarrow}{v} \times \overset{\rightarrow}{r}$ i.e. perpendicular to the plane containing $\overset{\rightarrow}{v}$ and $\overset{\rightarrow}{r}$.
