Answer:

-The battery-the power source

-Closed conducting loop

Explanation:

-To produce an electric current, the following requirements must be met:

-A battery-This is the energy source than will do work on the charge thus moving from a low energy location to high energy location.

-Closed Conducting Loop-The loop is usually made of copper wires due to their high electric conductivity.

Answer:

FB = 0.187 N

Explanation:

To find the magnetic force FB in the wire you use the following formula:

$|\vec{F_B}|=ILBsin\theta\\\\L=0.25m\\\\|\vec{B}|=\sqrt{(0.3y)^2+(0.4y)^2}=0.5y \ T$

the angle between B and L is given by:

$\vec{L}\cdot\vec{B}=LBcos\theta\\\\\theta=cos^{-1}(\frac{\vec{L}\cdot\vec{B}}{LB})=cos^{-1}(\frac{0*0.3y+0.25*0.4y}{0.25*0.5y})=36.86\°$

Due to B depends on "y" you take into account the contribution of each element dy of the wire to the magnitude of the magnetic force. Thus, you have to integrate the following expression:

$|\vec{F_B}|=Isin\theta\int_0^{0.25}B(y)dy=Isin\theta\int_0^{0.25}(0.5y)dy\\\\|\vec{F_B}|=(2.0*10^{-3}A)(sin36.86\°)(0.5T)[\frac{0.25^2}{2}m]=0.187\ N$
