Question

A conductor carrying a current $I=15.0 \mathrm{A}$ is directed along the positive $x$ axis and perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field. A magnetic force per unit length of $0.120 \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}$ acts on the conductor in the negative $y$ direction. Determine (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of the magnetic field in the region through which the current passes.

Step 1

Step 1: Use the formula for the magnetic force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field: $ F = BIL \sin(\theta) $, where $ F $ is the magnetic force, $ B $ is the magnetic field, $ I $ is the current, $ L $ is the length of the conductor, and Show more…
