<span>In this demonstration, there is a single compass and a piece of wire that is perpendicular to the plane that the compass sits on. The wire with current flowing through it can alter the direction the compass needle points.</span>
Let F = required force, N
Given:
d = 12 m, distance
W = 280 J, work done
By definition,
W = F*d,
therefore
(F N)*(12 m) = (280 J)
F = 280/12 = 23.33 N
Answer: The force is 23.3 N (nearest tenth)
