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 circular coil consisting of a single loop of wire has a radius of 30.0 cm and carries a current of 25 A. It is placed in an external magnetic eld of 0.30 T. Find the torque on the wire when the plane of the coil makes an angle of 35 with the direction of the eld.
Solution
The first step in solving 19 problem number 51 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A circular coil consisting of a single loop of wire has a radius of 30.0 cm and carries a current of 25 A. It is placed in an external magnetic eld of 0.30 T. Find the torque on the wire when the plane of the coil makes an angle of 35 with the direction of the eld.
From the textbook chapter Magnetism you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
