Along, straight wire carries a current of 5.20 a. an electron is traveling in the vicinity of the wire. part a) at the instant when the electron is 4.60 cm from the wire and traveling with a speed of 6.10×104 m/s directly toward the wire, what is the magnitude of the force that the magnetic field of the current exerts on the electron?
part b) what is the direction (relative to the direction of the current) of this force?

A) $2.2\cdot 10^{-19} N$

The strength of the magnetic field produced by a current-carrying wire is given by

$B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r}$

where

$\mu_0$ is the vacuum permeability

I is the current in the wire

r is the distance from the wire

In this situation,

I = 5.20 A

r = 4.60 cm = 0.046 m is the distance of the electron from the wire

Therefore the magnetic field strength at the electron's location is

$B=\frac{(4\pi \cdot 10^7)(5.20)}{2\pi (0.046}=2.26\cdot 10^{-5} T$

The force exerted on a charged moving particle travelling perpendicular to a magnetic field is given by

F=qvB

where

q is the magnitude of the charge of the particle

v is its velocity

B is the magnetic flux density

For the electron of this problem,

$q=1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C$ is the charge

$v=6.10\cdot 10^4 m/s$ is the speed

$B=2.26\cdot 10^{-5} T$ is the magnetic field

Substituting,

$F=(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(6.10\cdot 10^4)(2.26\cdot 10^{-5})=2.2\cdot 10^{-19} N$

B) Same direction as the current in the wire

First of all we have to find the direction of the magnetic field lines, which are concentric around the wire. Assuming the wire carries a current pointing upward, then if we use the right-hand rule:

- The thumb gives the direction of the current -> upward

- The other fingers wrapped give the direction of the field lines -> anticlockwise around the wire (as seen from top)

Now the direction of the force can be found by using the right-hand rule. We have:

- direction of the index finger = direction of motion of the electron (toward the wire, let's assume from east to west)

- middle finger = direction of the magnetic field (to the north)

- Thumb = direction of the force --> downward

However, the electron carries a negative charge, so we must reverse the direction of the force: therefore, the force experienced by the electron will be upward, so in the same direction as the current in the wire.

Answer from: Quest

the working equation for the angular size is the product of the physical size and 360 degrees divided by the product of two pi and distance from earth. the minimum size would be 0.559 degrees while the maximum size would be 0.49 degrees.
