The force exerted by a magnetic field on a wire carrying current is:
where I is the current, L the length of the wire, B the magnetic field intensity, and
the angle between the wire and the direction of B.
In our problem, the force is F=0.20 N. The current is I=1.40 A, while the length of the wire is L=35.0 cm=0.35 m. The angle between the wire and the magnetic field is
, so we can re-arrange the formula and substitute the numbers to find B:
