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 wire with a weight per unit length of 0.080 N/m is suspended directly above a second wire. The top wire carries a current of 30.0 A and the bottom wire carries a current of 60.0 A. Find the distance of separation between the wires so that the top wire will be held in place by magnetic repulsion.
Solution
The first step in solving 19 problem number 45 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A wire with a weight per unit length of 0.080 N/m is suspended directly above a second wire. The top wire carries a current of 30.0 A and the bottom wire carries a current of 60.0 A. Find the distance of separation between the wires so that the top wire will be held in place by magnetic repulsion.
From the textbook chapter Magnetism you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
