Question: a ) A wire is held horizontally in a vacuum chamber, and carries a current of 2 . 7 0 A . A proton is

a)
A wire is held horizontally in a vacuum chamber, and carries a current of 2.70A. A proton is traveling in a direction parallel to the wire (opposite the current) with a constant speed of 2.60104 m/s at a distance d above the wire. Ignoring the magnetic field due to the Earth, determine the value of d (in cm).
cm
(b)
What If? At what distance d (in m) would an electron moving with the same speed as the proton move parallel to the wire?
m
(a)60.0
N
(b)90.0
N
(c)120
N
