**Problem 14: Magnetic Force on an Electron**

An electron moving at a speed of \(4.8 \times 10^5 \, \text{m/s}\) enters a \(0.60 \, \text{T}\) magnetic field from the left, as depicted in the diagram below. Determine the direction and magnitude of the magnetic force on the electron. (Charge of electron \( e = 1.60 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{C} \))

**Diagram:**

- The diagram consists of a grid with 'x' marks representing the magnetic field (\(B\)) directed into the page.
- The electron is shown entering the field from the left with velocity \(\mathbf{v}\) directed to the right.

**Options:**

A. \(4.6 \times 10^{-14} \, \text{N} \) Downward  
B. \(2.3 \times 10^{-13} \, \text{N} \) Upward  
C. \(9.0 \times 10^{-14} \, \text{N} \) Downward  
D. \(0.6 \times 10^{-14} \, \text{N} \) Upwards  

**Explanation of Diagram:**

- The grid of 'x' marks indicates the magnetic field is uniform and directed into the plane of the page.
- The velocity vector \(\mathbf{v}\) is shown as an arrow pointing to the right, indicating the initial direction of motion of the electron.

**Solution Approach:**

To solve this problem, use the formula for the magnetic force on a moving charge:

\[ F = qvB \sin \theta \]

Where:
- \( F \) is the magnetic force,
- \( q \) is the charge of the electron (\(1.60 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{C}\)),
- \( v \) is the speed of the electron (\(4.8 \times 10^5 \, \text{m/s}\)),
- \( B \) is the magnetic field strength (\(0.60 \, \text{T}\)),
- \(\theta\) is the angle between the velocity and the magnetic field direction.

In this scenario, \(\theta = 90^\circ\) as the velocity is perpendicular to the magnetic field, making \(\sin
