Question
. A wire having a linear mass density of $1.00 \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cm}$ is placed on a horizontal surface that has a coefficient of kinetic friction of $0.200 .$ The wire carries a current of 1.50 A toward the east and slides horizontally to the north. What are the magnitude and direction of the smallest magnetic field that enables the wire to move in this fashion?
Step 1
Step 1: The force on the wire due to the magnetic field can be calculated using the formula $F = I \times B \times l$, where $I$ is the current, $B$ is the magnetic field, and $l$ is the length of the wire. Show more…

A wire having a linear mass density of 1.00 g/cm is placed on a horizontal surface that has a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.200. The wire carries a current of 1.50 A toward the east and slides horizontally to the north at constant velocity. What are (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of the smallest magnetic field that enables the wire to move in this fashion?
