The figure below shows a rectangular coil of length 1 and width w consisting of N turns of conducting wire, moving to the right with a constant velocity v. The coil moves into a region of uniform magnetic field B, pointing into the page and perpendicular to the plane of the coil. The total resistance of the coil is R.
Find the magnitude and direction of the total magnetic force on the coil for the following situations. (Use the following as necessary: N, B, w, l, v, and R.) .

(a) as it enters the magnetic field
(b) as it moves within the field
(c) as it leaves the field

A magnetic field with induction B = 15 · 10−4T is directed perpendicular to the electric field with intensity E = 10V /cm. The beam of electrons flying at the speed v enters the space with the mentioned fields. The velocity of the electrons is perpendicular to the plane containing the vectors E and B. Calculate: 1) the electron velocity v, if the electron beam does not deviate under the simultaneous action of both fields; 2) the radius of curvature of the electron trajectory when only the magnetic field is on. 3) What is the kinetic energy of the electron in both cases?
