Answer

See the detailed answer below.

Work Step by Step

We know, from Biot-Savart law, that the magnetic field of a moving charged particle is given by $$B=\dfrac{\mu_0}{4\pi }\dfrac{qv\sin\theta}{r^2}$$ $$\color{blue}{\bf [a]}$$ At point $(1,0,0)$, $\theta=0^\circ$, so $$B=\dfrac{\mu_0}{4\pi }\dfrac{qv(0)}{r^2}=\color{red}{\bf 0}\;\rm T$$ $$\color{blue}{\bf [b]}$$ At point $(0,1,0)$, $\theta=90^\circ$, so $$B=\dfrac{(4\pi\times 10^{-7})}{4\pi }\dfrac{(1.6\times 10^{-19})(1\times 10^7)\sin90^\circ}{0.01^2} $$ $$B=\color{red}{\bf 1.6\times 10^{-15}}\;\rm T$$ and its direction is out of the page. $$\color{blue}{\bf [c]}$$ At point $(0,-2,0)$, $\theta=90^\circ$, so $$B=\dfrac{(4\pi\times 10^{-7})}{4\pi }\dfrac{(1.6\times 10^{-19})(1\times 10^7)\sin90^\circ}{0.02^2} $$ $$B=\color{red}{\bf 4\times 10^{-16}} \;\rm T$$ and its direction is into the page.
