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
A conductor suspended by two exible wires as shown in Figure P19.18 has a mass per unit length of 0.040 0 kg/m. What current must exist in the conductor for the tension in the supporting wires to be zero when the magnetic eld is 3.60 T into the page? What is the required direction for the current?
Solution
The first step in solving 19 problem number 18 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A conductor suspended by two exible wires as shown in Figure P19.18 has a mass per unit length of 0.040 0 kg/m. What current must exist in the conductor for the tension in the supporting wires to be zero when the magnetic eld is 3.60 T into the page? What is the required direction for the current?
From the textbook chapter Magnetism you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
