Question: A long straight wire carries a current of 50A. An electron, traveling at1107ms, is0.05mfrom the wire. What is the magnitude of the magnetic force on the electron if the electron velocity is directed (a) toward the wire, (b) parallel to the wire in the direction of the current, and (c) perpendicular to the two directions defined by (a) and (b)?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Magnitude of magnetic force on the electron if the electron velocity:

  1. Towards the wire is 3.210-16N.
  2. Parallel to the wire in the direction of the current is3.210-16N.
  3. Perpendicular to the two directions defined by (a) and (b) is0.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of the given data

  1. The current is,i=50A
  2. The speed of electron is,V=1107ms
  3. The distance is,r=0.05m

Understanding the concept

We use the formula of magnetic field due to an infinitely long wire at perpendicular distance to calculate the magnetic field due to the wire andtaking the cross product of velocity and magnetic field, we can find the direction of magnetic force and its magnitude.

Formula:

FB=q(VB)

B=0i2r

The magnetic force on the charged particles is given as

FB=q(VB)

The charged particle is an electron; hence, the force on the electron due to magnetic field is given by

Fe=-e(VB)

03

(a) Calculate the magnitude of the magnetic force on the electron if the electron velocity is towards the wire

When velocity is towards the wire:

The velocity of electron is in the downward direction.We have a current flow in the +x direction, and electron atr=0.05mabove the wire (where 鈥渦p鈥 is the +y direction). Thus, the field produced by the current points in the +z direction at P.

V=-Vj^

V=1.0107ms

The magnitude of magnetic field due to a long straight wire at perpendicular distanceris given by

B=0i2r

The magnetic field is along +Zdirection, hence, in vector form

B=0i2rk^

Substituting the value of the magnetic field and velocity in equation-

Fe=-eVB

Fe=-eVj^0i2rk^ 鈥(2)

Fe=-eV0i2rj^k^

Fe=-eV0i2ri^

Now substituting all values in the above, we get

Fe=--1.610-19C1.2610-6T.mA1107ms50A20.05mi^

Fe=3.210-16Ni^

And the magnitude is given by role="math" localid="1662828889670" Fe=3.210-16N.

04

(b) Calculate magnitude of magnetic force on the electron if the electron velocity is parallel to the wire in the direction of the current

The velocity is along +x direction. But the magnetic field is in the same direction.

V=Vi^=3.210-16Ni^

Hence, from relation 2, we get

role="math" localid="1662829605536" Fe=-eVi^0i2rk^=-eV0i2ri^k^=-eV0i2r-j^=eV0i2rj^

Substitute all the value in the above equation.

role="math" localid="1662830189646" Fe=1.610-19C1.2610-6T.mA1107ms50A20.05mj^Fe=3.210-16Nj^

The magnitude of the force is the same as result (a) but direction of force is along +y direction.

05

(c) Calculate magnitude of magnetic force on the electron if the electron velocity is perpendicular to the two directions defined by (a) and (b)

In this case, the velocity is in both Zdirection.

From relation 2

Fe=-eVk^0i2rk^

It will be zero becausek^k^=0

Hence, there will be no force on the electron.
