Question

3. A horizontal power line of length 58.7m carries a current of 2.28 kA northward as shown in the figure below. The Earth's magnetic field at this location has a magnitude of 4.95 ×10?? T (which is about half a Gauss). The field at this location is directed toward the north at an angle 65° below the power line. What is the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force on the power line?

A horizontal power line of length 58.7m carries a current of 2.28 kA northward as shown in the figure below. The Earth's magnetic field at this location has a magnitude of 4.95 × 10⁻⁵ T (which is about half a Gauss). The field at this location is directed toward the north at an angle 65° below the power line. What is the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force on the power line?
