Question

The four wires shown in the figure below all carry the the same current from point A to point B through the same magnetic field (the blue lines show the direction of the magnetic field ). The points A and B are 10 cm apart. Rank the wires according to the magnitude of the magnetic force exerted on them, from greatest to least (a) (b) (c) (d) Select one: (a), (b) = (c), (d) (a), (d), (b) = (c) (d), (a), (b) = (c)

Step 1

The magnetic force \(F\) on a straight segment of wire carrying current \(I\) through a uniform magnetic field \(B\) is given by the equation \(F = I L B \sin(\theta)\), where \(L\) is the length of the wire in the magnetic field, and \(\theta\) is the angle Show more…
