Question

A long straight wire carries a 40.0 A current in the +x direction. At a particular instant, an electron moving at 1.0 x 10^7 m/s in the +y direction is 0.10 m from the wire. The charge on the electron is -1.6 x 10^-19 C. What is the force on the electron at this instant?

Step 1

Given I = 40 A and r = 0.1 m, we have: B = (2 * 10^-7 * 40) / 0.1 B = 8 * 10^-5 T Show more…
