Question:

An electron travels to the right at \(2.5 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) between two large, flat sheets that are parallel to each other and to the electron's line of motion. A current per unit width of \(8.0 \mathrm{~A} / \mathrm{m}\) flows to the right through the top sheet.

(a) What current should flow in the second sheet so that the electron does not deviate from its path?

(b) If one generates a current of \(10 \mathrm{~A} / \mathrm{m}\) to the right on the second sheet, what is the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force on the electron?
