An object with charge +q passes to the right of one pole of a magnet and at a particular instant is moving with a velocity v toward the bottom of the page, as shown in the figure above. The force exerted on the object by the magnet at that instant is directed into the page. What is the direction of the force exerted on the magnet by the object?

• Out of the page

• Toward the right

• Toward the top of the page

• No direction; the force is zero.

At the instant shown above, an electron is moving to the right along a straight line midway between two identical bar magnets. Which of the following describes the path of the electron as it continues to move?

• It curves upward and strikes the top magnet.

• It curves downward and reverses direction before it enters the space between the magnets.

• It stops and reverses direction, then moves to the left along the same straight line.
