Detailed Solution

For a point charge q moving with a velocity v,
B=μ0qv×r4πt2 r=[3i4j](m) r=(3m)2+(4m)2=5m
Thus  r=rr=[3i4j](m)5m=0.6i0.8j
Substituting the above results into the equation for B  we obtain
B=μ0qv×r4πr2=μ04πq(vi)×[0.6i0.8j]r2 =μ04πqv(0.8k)r2 =(107T.m/A)(6×106C)(5×104m/s)(0.8)(5m)2k =9.6×1010k(T)
Both the electric & magnetic fields at origin will decrease as the charge moves away.
