A straight wire 140 m long is in a uniform magnetic field of 0.86 T and carrying a current of 0.53 A. Calculate the force on the wire.
Added by Julie N.
Step 1
We know that the force on a current-carrying wire in a magnetic field is given by the formula F = BIL, where F is the force, B is the magnetic field, I is the current, and L is the length of the wire. Show more…
