he earth's magnetic field can affect the electron beam in an oscilloscope or a television tube. An electron that has been accelerated through a potential difference of 5.03  104 V has a horizontal initial velocity, directed north. Find the magnetic force on the electron when the earth's field has a horizontal component of 0.250 G and dips 60.0° below the horizontal (values typical in California).
