Options
forces both pointing into the plane of paper
forces both pointing out of the plane of paper
forces pointing into the plane of paper and out of the plane of paper, respectively
force pointing opposite and along the direction of the uniform magnetic field respectively

Solution
forces both pointing into the plane of paper
Explanation -
The direction of the current is taken as opposite to the flow of electron or in the direction of the flow of protons.
In the given figure, the proton and electron are moving in the opposite direction to each other and perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field. So, current due to both electron and proton are in the same direction. Hence, the forces acting on both will be in the same direction. By Fleming's left-hand rule the direction of force is pointing into the plane of the paper.

Read the given passage and answer the following questions:
The home electrical connection consists of ‘live’, ‘neutral’ and ‘earth’ wires. The ‘live’ and the ‘neutral’ wires have potential difference of 220 V. The ‘earth’ is connected to ground. Due to a fault in the equipment or if the plastic coating on the ‘live’ and the ‘neutral’ wires gives a way the two wires come in contact with each other and a large current flows through it producing heat. If any inflammable material (such as wood, cloth, plastic, etc.) exists around that place it can catch fire. Therefore a fuse wire is used as a precautionary measure.
