A positive point charge moves with velocity v\mathbf v perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field B\mathbf B. Which of the following best describes the direction of the magnetic force acting on the charge at that instant? a) Along B\mathbf B b) Zero, because only an electric field exerts force c) Perpendicular to both v\mathbf v and B\mathbf B d) Perpendicular to both v\mathbf v and B\mathbf B, but opposite to v×B\mathbf v\times \mathbf B
