Question
In the figure, four long straight wires are perpendicular to the page with R = 20.0cm, and each wire carrying a current of 8.50A. The currents are into the page in wires 2 and 4 and out of the page in wires 1 and 3. (a) What are the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force per meter of wire length on wire 4 from the other wires? (b) What are the magnitude and direction of the net magnetic field at point P due to the four wires? (c) If an electron was shot horizontally to the right at point P with initial velocity v = (2.50x10^5 m/s)i, what are the magnitude and direction of the force it will experience at point P?
