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 in Figure P19.40 carry currents of 3.00 A and 5.00 A in the direction indicated. (a) Find the direction and magnitude of the magnetic eld at a point midway between the wires. (b) Find the magnitude and direction of the magnetic eld at point P, located 20.0 cm above the wire carrying the 5.00-A current
Solution
The first step in solving 19 problem number 40 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The two wires in Figure P19.40 carry currents of 3.00 A and 5.00 A in the direction indicated. (a) Find the direction and magnitude of the magnetic eld at a point midway between the wires. (b) Find the magnitude and direction of the magnetic eld at point P, located 20.0 cm above the wire carrying the 5.00-A current
