An fully ionized carbon atom ( 6 protons +6 neutrons) is moving with a velocity of 17.7m/s in an east to west direction in a vacuum chamber, exactly 7.77cm above a straight current carrying cable. The magnetic field from the current in the cable levitates the carbon nucleus as it flies above, so the particle does not fall as it moves horizontally. Calculate the current in the wire and give both the magnitude and direction.
