Detailed Solution

According to Biot-Savart law, $d \vec{B} = \frac{μ_{0}}{4 π} \frac{i (\vec{d l} \times \vec{r})}{r^{3}}$

$\Rightarrow d \vec{B} = \frac{μ_{0}}{4 π} \frac{(\frac{d q}{d t}) (\vec{d l} \times \vec{r})}{r^{3}}$

$\Rightarrow d \vec{B} = \frac{μ_{0}}{4 π} \frac{e (\frac{\vec{d l}}{d t} \times \vec{r})}{r^{3}}$

$\Rightarrow d \vec{B} = \frac{μ_{0}}{4 π} \frac{(d q) (\vec{v} \times \vec{r})}{r^{3}}$

It indicates that the moving electrons (velocity $\vec{v}$ ) produce a magnetic field $\vec{B}$ such that $\vec{B} ⊥ \vec{v}$ .
