9. An electron \( \left(m_{e}=9.11 \times 10^{-31} \mathrm{~kg}, q=-1.60 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{C}\right) \) moves in a circular path in the uniform magnetic field produced inside a solenoid. a) The sketch below shows an end-on view of the solenoid (direction of current is indicated) and the electron's path (dashed line). Indicate: i) The direction of the magnetic field produced by the solenoid. ii) The direction of the electron's orbit.

An electron moves with a velocity of $1.0 \times 107 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{1.0} \times 10^{7} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ in the $x-y$ plane at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ to both the $+x$ and $+y$ axes. There is a magnetic field of $3.0 \mathrm{~T}$ in the $+y$ direction. Calculate the magnetic force (magnitude and direction) on the electron. SSM Example $19-1$
An electron with a velocity of 5.00 x 10^6 m/s is moving perpendicular to a magnetic field of 1.25 T. Find the: a. force and b. acceleration of the electron. q (electron) = -1.60 x 10^-19 C; m (electron) = 9.10 x 10^-31 kg

An electron is moving at a speed of $1.0 \times 10^{4} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ in a circular path of radius $2.0 \mathrm{~cm}$ inside a solenoid. The magnetic field of the solenoid is perpendicular to the plane of the electron's path. Find (a) the strength of the magnetic field inside the solenoid and (b) the current in the solenoid if it has 25 turns per centimeter.
