Options:
  • A $\mathrm{q}(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{V}})$
  • B $q(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{V}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}})$
  • C $q \overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}+\mathrm{q}(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{V}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}})$
  • D $\mathrm{q}(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{V}})$

The correct answer is: $q \overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}+\mathrm{q}(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{V}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}})$
Force due to electric field $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}_{\mathrm{e}}=\mathrm{q} \overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}$
Force due to magnetic field $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}_{\mathrm{m}}=\mathrm{q}(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}})$
$\therefore$ Total force $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}=\mathrm{q} \overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}+\mathrm{q}(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{V}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}})$
