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
Two parallel conductors carry currents in opposite directions, as shown in Figure P19.56. One conductor carries a current of 10.0 A. Point A is the midpoint between the wires, and point C is 5.00 cm to the right of the 10.0-A current. I is adjusted so that the magnetic eld at C is zero. Find (a) the value of the current I and (b) the value of the magnetic eld at A.
Solution
The first step in solving 19 problem number 56 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Two parallel conductors carry currents in opposite directions, as shown in Figure P19.56. One conductor carries a current of 10.0 A. Point A is the midpoint between the wires, and point C is 5.00 cm to the right of the 10.0-A current. I is adjusted so that the magnetic eld at C is zero. Find (a) the value of the current I and (b) the value of the magnetic eld at A.
From the textbook chapter Magnetism you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
