Urgent Magnetic Field Problem! Urgent!please Help!
1. Homework Statement
a) What is the direction of the net magnetic filed at P due to the currents?
b) Determine the magnitude of the net magnetic field at P due to the currents.
A charged particle at point P that is instantaneously moving with a velocity of 10^6 meters/second toward the top of the page experiences a force of 10^-7 Newtons to the left due to the two currents.
c) State whether the charge on the particle is positive or negative.
d) Determine the magnitude of the charge on the particle.
e) Determine the magnitude and direction of an electric field also at point P that would make the net force on this moving charge equal to 0.
2. The attempt at a solution
I know the answer to part b). it is 6e-6 T and 4e-7 T.
i need help with the other parts. i think, for part a), the direction of the net magnetic field is in the -x becuase the direction of the magnetic filed for the 3Amp wire is +z and the direction of the 1A wire is -z but i need help!
THE PICTURE IS ATTACHED.!.!
