A current $I = 19$ A is directed along the positive x-axis and perpendicular to a magnetic field. A magnetic force per unit length of 0.16 N/m acts on the conductor in the negative y-direction. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field in the region through which the current passes.

A current, $I=15 \mathrm{A},$ is directed along the positive $x$ -axis and perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field. The conductor experiences a magnetic force per unit length of $0.12 \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}$ in the negative $y$ direction. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field in the region through which the current passes.
A straight conducting wire carries a 7.5-A current in the $+y$ -direction. Find the magnetic field (magnitude and direction) that results in a force per unit length on the wire of $0.14 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}$ in the $-z$ -direction.
