A wire carries a steady current of 1.1 A. A straight section of the wire is 0.99 m long and lies along the y-axis within a uniform field B = 1.19 T in the z-direction. What is magnitude of the magnetic force on the section of wire in N.
Added by Dylan G.
Step 1
We know that the magnetic force on a current-carrying wire can be calculated using the formula: F = I * L * B * sin(theta) where F is the magnetic force, I is the current, L is the length of the wire, B is the magnetic field, and theta is the angle between the Show more…

A wire carries a steady current of $2.40 \mathrm{~A}$. A straight section of the wire is $0.750 \mathrm{~m}$ long and lies along the $x$ axis within a uniform magnetic field of magnitude $B=1.60 \mathrm{~T}$ in the positive $z$ direction. If the current is in the $+x$ direction, what is the magnetic force on the section of wire?
A wire carries a steady current of 2.20 A. A straight section of the wire is 0.750 m long and lies along the y axis within a uniform magnetic field, = 2.00 T. If the current is in the positive y direction, what is the magnetic force on the section of wire? Magnitude

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?
