Which one of the following statements is true regarding the magnetic force on a current carrying wire. The force either parallel to the length of the wire or parallel to the magnetic field. The force is independent of the current in the wire. The force is always perpendicular to both the length of the wire and the magnetic field. The magnetic force is proportional to the speed at which the wire is moving.

Review. A 30.0-g metal hall having net charge Q = 5.00 C is thrown out of a window horizontally north at a speed v = 20.0 m/s. The window is at a height h = 20.0 m above the ground. A uniform, horizontal magnetic field of magnitude B = 0.010 0 T is perpendicular to the plane of the balls trajectory and directed toward the west. (a) Assuming the ball follows the same trajectory as it would in the absence of the magnetic field, find the magnetic force acting on the ball just before it hits the ground. (b) Based on the result of part (a), is it justified for three-significant-digit precision to assume the trajectory is unaffected by the magnetic field? Explain.
Considering the magnetic force law, are the velocity and magnetic field always perpendicular? Are the force and velocity always perpendicular? What about the force and magnetic field?
