Question: 2 . A single current - carrying circular loop of radius ( R = 6 . 4 mathrm { ~cm } )

2. A single current-carrying circular loop of radius \( R=6.4\mathrm{~cm}\) is placed next to a long straight wire as shown in Figure. A current \( i_{1}=-7.6\mathrm{~A}\) is passing through the wire towards the right. At a certain moment, an electron is moving at a velocity \(\overrightarrow{v^{\prime}}=570.0\mathrm{j}\mathrm{m}/\mathrm{s}\) toward the center of the circular wire. At the instant shown in figure 2, the electron's distance from the wire is \( d=8.5\mathrm{~cm}\).

The \( z \) axis points out of the page in the coordinate system shown in the figure which is represented by the circle with a dot inside.
a) Compute the magnitude of the magnetic field at the center \( c \) due to the current passing through the straight wire. [1]
b) What is the magnitude of the magnetic field at the center \( c \) due to the motion of the electron? [1]
c) In unit vector notation, find the magnetic force on the electron due to the current passing through the straight wire. [2]
d) Calculate the magnitude and direction of the current to the circular wire to produce zero magnetic fields at its center c. Consider counter-clockwise circulation of current as positive. [1]
