5. Given the setup below, with a magnet oriented as noted and a current carrying wire instantlyturned on with current I passing through the magnetic field.
(The wire is parallel to the ground.)
If it helps you picture it: imagine I in the direction of x (into the page) and B in the direction of
y (right to left).
a.) Describe the orientation of F, I and B with respect to each other.In terms of motion, what does
a magnetic field do to a moving electric charge? (hint: what is the direction of the resultant force)
