At $t = 0$ a charge $q$ is at the origin and moving in the $y-$ direction with velocity $\overrightarrow v  = v\,\hat j .$ The charge moves in a magnetic field that is for $y > 0$ out of page and given by $B_1 \hat z$ and for $y < 0$ into the page and given $-B_2 \hat z .$ The charge's subsequent trajectory is shown in the sketch. From this information, we can deduce that
  • A$q > 0$ and $| B_1 | < | B_2 |$
  • B$q < 0$ and $| B_1 | < | B_2 |$
  • C$q > 0$ and $| B_1 | > | B_2 |$
  • D$q < 0$ and $| B_1 | > | B_2 |$
