Answer: The correct answer is 'when the current is at a 90-degree angle to the field'

Explanation:

The Force on a current carrying wire in a magnetic field is given by lorents Force:

$F=BILsin\theta$

B= Magnetic Field in Tesla

I = Current in a wire in Ampere

L= Length of the wire in meters

$\theta$ = angle between the Vetor B and vector I in degrees.

$F=BILsin90^o$ (force will be maximum)

$F=BILsin0^o$ (force will be minimum)

Force F=2.0N i - 3.0N k acts on a pebble with position vectorr=0.50m j - 2.0m k relative to the origin. In unit vector notation,

klasskru [66]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Force acts on a pebble= $2\hat{i}-3\hat{k}$ N

Position vector= $r=0.5\hat{j}-2\hat{k}$ m

a.We have to find the resulting torque on the pebble about origin.

Torque= $r\times F$

Substitute the values then we get

$Torque= (0.5j-2k)\times (2i-3k)$

Torque= $-k-1.5i-4j$ N-m

By using $i\times j=k,j\times k=i,k\times i=j,j\times i=-k,k\times j=-i,i\times k=-j,i\times i=j\times j=k\times k=0$

b. $r=2i-3k$

$r-r_1=(0.5j-2k)-(2i-3k)=-2i+0.5j+k$

Torque about point (2,0,-3)

$\tau=(-2i+0.5j+k)\times (2i-3k)$

$\tau=-6j-k-1.5i+2j=-1.5i-4j-k$ N-m
