A long straight wire carries a 40 A current in the +x direction. At a particular instant, an electron moving at 3.0 x 10 m/s in the +y direction is 0.10 m from the wire. The charge on the electron is -1.6 x 10-19 C. What is the magnitude of the force on the electron in units of 10-16 N at this instant? 40 A 0.10 m electron
