A long, straight wire carries a 13.0-A current. An electron is fired parallel to this wire with a velocity of 250 km/s in the same direction as the current, 2.00 cm from the wire. (a) Find the magnitude and direction of the electron’s initial acceleration.
(b) What should be the magnitude and direction of a uniform electric field that will allow the electron to continue to travel parallel to the wire?
(c) Is it necessary to include the effects of gravity? Justify your answer.
