Question

A straight wire has a current I = 2.1 A as shown. There is a uniform magnetic field independent from the wire, with B = 1.07 mT in the +x-direction. The angle at which the wire is arranged is ? = 22.9°. What is the magnetic force on a section of the wire with length L = 1.43 m? y x z ? I B? = Bx? F? = ? , , ?

Step 1

First, we need to find the direction of the magnetic force on the wire. We can use the right-hand rule for this. If we point our right thumb in the direction of the current (from bottom to top in the diagram), and our fingers in the direction of the magnetic field Show more…
