Question

A stream of electrons is projected horizontally to the right. A straight current-carrying conductor is supported parallel to the electron stream and above it. If the current in the conductor is from left to right, what will be the effect on the electron stream?

Magnetic field due to wire at electron stream is in + y direction the velocity of e is in + i ^ ∴ Force on electrons, F → = q v → × B → The direction of this force is = - i ^ × j ^ = - k ^
