An infinitely long straight conductor carries a current of $5 \, A$ as shown. An electron is moving with a speed of $10^{5} \, m/s$ parallel to the conductor. The perpendicular distance between the electron and the conductor is $20 \, cm$ at an instant. Calculate the magnitude of the force experienced by the electron at that instant in $\times 10^{-20} \, N$.
