An electron gun res electrons into a magnetic eld directed straight downward. Find the direction of the force exerted by the eld on an electron for each of the following directions of the electrons velocity: (a) horizontal and due north; (b) horizontal and 30west of north; (c)due north, but at 30 below the horizontal; (d) straight upward. (Remember that an electron has a negative charge.)

Question
In Figure P19.2, assume that in each case the velocity vector shown is replaced with a wire carrying a current in the direction of the velocity vector. For each case, nd the direction of the magnetic force acting on the wire.
Solution
The first step in solving 19 problem number 12 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: In Figure P19.2, assume that in each case the velocity vector shown is replaced with a wire carrying a current in the direction of the velocity vector. For each case, nd the direction of the magnetic force acting on the wire.
From the textbook chapter Magnetism you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
