Transcribed Image Text:

The electrons in the beam of a television tube have an energy of 16.0 keV. The tube is oriented so that the electrons move horizontally from north to south. At the electron's latitude the vertical component of the Earth's magnetic field points down with a magnitude of 55.5 T. What is the direction of the force on the electrons due to this component of the magnetic field? (WARNING: You have only TWO tries on this problem!!)
