Question

A conductor carrying a current I = 15.0 A is directed along the positive x axis and perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field. A magnetic force per unit length of 0.120 N/m acts on the conductor in the negative y direction. Deter- mine (b) the direction of the magnetic field in the region through which the current passes.

Answer 1

The magnitude of the magnetic field in the region through the current passes is 8×10⁻³  T.

What is a magnetic field?

The magnetic field is defined as the field the magnetic materials generate or when an electric charge moves in a field region that generates the magnetic field.

It is given that:

A conductor carrying a current I = 15.0 A is directed along the positive x-axis and perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field.

As we know,

F = ilB

i = 15 A
F/l = 0.120 N/m

B = (F/l)(1/i)

B = 0.120(1/15)

B = 8×10⁻³  T

Thus, the magnitude of the magnetic field in the region through the current passes is 8×10⁻³  T.
