A straight wire carries a current of 2.0 A in a uniform magnetic field (magnitude = 5.0 T). If the force per unit length on this wire is 2.0 N/m, determine the angle between the wire and the magnetic field
Added by Smith T.
Step 1
We are given that F/L = 2.0 N/m, I = 2.0 A, and B = 5.0 T. We want to find θ. Rearranging the formula for θ, we get: sin(θ) = F / (I * B * L) Substituting the given values, we get: sin(θ) = 2.0 N/m / (2.0 A * 5.0 T) Solving this, we get: sin(θ) = 0.2 Show more…
