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 rectangular loop consists of 100 closely wrapped turns and has dimensions 0.40 m by 0.30 m. The loop is hinged along the y-axis, and the plane of the coil makes an angle of 30.0 with the x-axis (Fig. P19.24). What is the magnitude of the torque exerted on the loop by a uniform magnetic eld of 0.80 T directed along the x-axis when the current in the windings has a value of 1.2 A in the direction shown? What is the expected direction of rotation of the loop?
Solution
The first step in solving 19 problem number 24 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A rectangular loop consists of 100 closely wrapped turns and has dimensions 0.40 m by 0.30 m. The loop is hinged along the y-axis, and the plane of the coil makes an angle of 30.0 with the x-axis (Fig. P19.24). What is the magnitude of the torque exerted on the loop by a uniform magnetic eld of 0.80 T directed along the x-axis when the current in the windings has a value of 1.2 A in the direction shown? What is the expected direction of rotation of the loop?
From the textbook chapter Magnetism you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
