The component of the force in negative z-direction is -0.144 N.
The given parameters;
- <em>current in the wire, I = 2.7 A</em>
- <em>length of the wire, L = (3.2 i + 4.3j) cm</em>
- <em>magnetic filed, B = 1.24 i</em>
The force on the segment of the wire is calculated as follows;
where;
- <em>θ is the angle wire and magnetic field</em>
<em />
The force on the wire segment will be perpendicular in negative z-direction (applying right hand rule), so there won't be any x and y component of the force.
The angle between the wire and the magnetic field is calculated as follows;
The magnitude of the wire length is calculated as follows;
The component of the force in negative z-direction is calculated as;
Thus, the component of the force in negative z-direction is -0.144 N.
