All right, so we have a loop of wire in a little magnetic field, kind of like this.
00:08
Presumably it's our positive terminal and negative terminal.
00:10
We have a battery connected to these, and we're told the length of this wire, let's call this l, of this dimension anyway, is two centimeters.
00:19
And it's subjected to a magnetic field.
00:24
I hope you'll forgive the drawing.
00:27
It kind of looks like this.
00:33
Let's see, let me make sure i draw this pretty well.
00:37
Anyway you get the point so we have something like this and this is our north pole of our magnet it's our south pole and we're told that when the battery is connected the loop um draws a current of four amps and we're told that the the power supply has an emf of 20 volts so the first part asks us what's the resistance of the wire so this would just be the emf divided by the current so 20 volts divided by four amps is five oms of resistance so it's part two, one, part two says what is the direction of the magnetic force on the wire segment? so the current is going to go this way because it's going from the positive terminal to the negative terminal.
01:23
And the magnetic field is going this way.
01:27
It's from north to south.
01:29
So the force on the wire is given by the cross product of i times l cross b, where l goes in the same direction as the magnetic...
