Question
In the plane of the paper, a long straight wire carries a current I in the +x direction. A proton
is projected a distance a below the wire with a speed v in the +x direction.
a) Derive an expression for F, the magnitude of the magnetic force on the proton
b(if any) in terms of the current I in the wire.
b) Mark Fin a diagram, or provide the direction in terms of the standard Cartesian
directions {x,y,z), including an appropriate sign {+/-}.
