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
The two wires shown in Figure P19.38 carry currents of 5.00 A in opposite directions and are separated by 10.0 cm. Find the direction and magnitude of the net magneticeld (a) at a point midway between the wires; (b) at point P1, 10.0 cm to the right of the wire on the right, and (c) at point P2, 20.0 cm to the left of the wire on the left.
Solution
The first step in solving 19 problem number 38 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The two wires shown in Figure P19.38 carry currents of 5.00 A in opposite directions and are separated by 10.0 cm. Find the direction and magnitude of the net magneticeld (a) at a point midway between the wires; (b) at point P1, 10.0 cm to the right of the wire on the right, and (c) at point P2, 20.0 cm to the left of the wire on the left.
From the textbook chapter Magnetism you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
