Answer:

The correct option is: perpendicular, magnetic field

Step-by-step explanation:

When a charged particle such as an electron, is in motion, magnetic field is produced. The direction of the magnetic field produced by the charged particle can be determined by the right hand rule.

Therefore, the magnetic force experienced by a charged particle in motion is perpendicular to the magnetic field and the velocity.
