Question

Which of the following statements is correct ? 1. The force on the electron is perpendicular to the electron’s motion and perpendicular to the plane in which both the electron position and the wire lie, with not enough information given to determine the direction of the force. 2. The force on the electron is directed perpendicular to the electron’s motion and directed away from the wire. 3. The force on the electron is directed along the electron’s motion. 4. The force on the electron is directed opposite to the electron’s motion. 5. The force on the electron is directed perpendicular to the electron’s motion but with the limited information given we cannot determine if this force is directed towards or away from the wire. 6. The force on the electron is perpendicular to the electron’s motion and perpendicular to the plane in which both the electron position and the wire lie, with the direction determined by the right hand rule.

7.The force on the electron is directed perpendicular to the electron’s motion and must be directed towards the wire.
