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 single-turn square loop of wire 2.00cm on a side carries a counterclockwise current of 0.200 A. The loop is inside a solenoid, with the plane of the loop perpendicular to the magnetic eld of the solenoid. The solenoid has 30 turns per centimeter and carries a counterclockwise current of 15.0 A. Find the force on each side of the loop and the torque acting on the loop.
Solution
The first step in solving 19 problem number 49 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A single-turn square loop of wire 2.00cm on a side carries a counterclockwise current of 0.200 A. The loop is inside a solenoid, with the plane of the loop perpendicular to the magnetic eld of the solenoid. The solenoid has 30 turns per centimeter and carries a counterclockwise current of 15.0 A. Find the force on each side of the loop and the torque acting on the loop.
From the textbook chapter Magnetism you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
