An infinitely long straight wire with uniform line charge density λ per unit length carries a current I. Take the permittivity and permeability of the medium to be ε0 = μ0 = 1 in appropriate units. A particle of charge q is at a distance r and is travelling along a trajectory parallel to the wire. If the net force on the particle is zero, what is the speed of the charge?
- 14λI
- 2λ3I
- 3λ2I
- 4λI✓
