A negatively charged particle is moving to the left, directly above a straight wire carrying a current to the right. What is the direction of the magnetic force exerted on the charge? toward the top of the screen out of the screen toward the bottom of the screen The magnetic force is zero since the velocity is parallel to the current into the screen
Expert Answer
A current-carrying wire produces magnetic field which causes magnetic force on the charged particle.We are given:A long current-carrying wire with current directed towards right.A negatively charged particle of charge "-Q" moving with velocity "v" towards left
