The accompanying figure shows a long, straight wire carrying a current of 10 A. What is the magnetic force (in N) on an electron at the instant it is 26 cm from the wire, traveling parallel to the wire with a speed of 3.0×105 m/s? (Enter the magnitude.) 10 A N Describe qualitatively the subsequent motion of the electron. The electron continues to move parallel to the wire. The electron moves toward the wire. The electron moves away from the wire.
