Exercise 13
Proton moving parallel to a wire
Theory used: Field of an infinite straight wireDirection and sense of the field
A proton moves with velocity parallel to an infinite straight wire, from the wire, in the same sense as the current in the wire. Compute the magnitude of the magnetic force on the proton and state whether it points toward the wire or away from it.
