Medium· Magnetic Field due to Various Current Carrying Conductors (Magnetic Field Surrounding a Thin Straight Current Carrying Conductor)· +4 / −1
An infinitely long straight conductor carries a current of as shown. An electron is moving with a speed of parallel to the conductor. The perpendicular distance between the electron and the conductor is at an instant. Calculate the magnitude of the force experienced by the electron at that instant.
Figure: a long straight wire PQ carries current from P to Q. The electron, at a perpendicular distance of from the wire, moves with velocity in the same direction as the current (parallel to the wire).
