(c) Magnetic field produced by wire is perpendicular to the motion of electron and it is given by
$B = \frac{{{\mu _0}}}{{4\pi }} \cdot \frac{{2i}}{a} = {10^{ - 7}} \times \frac{{2 \times 5}}{{0.1}} = {10^{ - 5}}\,Wb/{m^2}$
Hence force on electron
$F = qvB = (1.6 \times {10^{ - 19}}) \times 5 \times {10^6} \times {10^{ - 5}} = 8 \times {10^{ - 18}}\,N$
