An electron is traveling horizontally toward the north in a uniform magnetic field that is directed vertically downward. In what direction does the magnetic force act on the electron? An electron is traveling horizontally toward the north in a uniform magnetic field that is directed vertically downward. In what direction does the magnetic force act on the electron? upward south downward west east north

east direction.

Explanation:

Given, that the electron is travelling in the north direction in the horizontal direction whereas the magnetic field applied is in the vertically downward direction.

Using the Maxwell's left hand rule, we point the index finger in the direction of magnetic field while the perpendicular middle finger points in the direction of motion of the positive charge and the thumb points in the direction of the force. During this position the angle between all the three fingers must be mutually perpendicular to each other.

Therefore we find that here in this case the magnetic force on the electron acts in the east direction.

jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, having a mass and radius that are respectively, 318 and 11.2 times that of earth. suppose that an object falls from rest near the surface of each planet and that the acceleration due to gravity remains constant during the fall. each object falls the same distance before striking the ground. determine the ratio of the time of fall on jupiter to that on earth.
