Answer:
1.79 T
Explanation:
Applying,
F = BILsin∅................ Equation 1
Where F = Force, B = magnetic field, I = current flowing through the wire, L = length of the wire, ∅ = angle between the magntic field and the force
make B the subject of the equation
B = F/ILsin∅............. Equation 2
From the question,
Given: F = 2.15 N, I = 30 A, L = 4.00 cm = 0.04 m, ∅ = 90° (perpendicular to the field)
Substitute these values into equation 2
B = 2.15/(30×0.04×sin90°)
B = 2.15/1.2
B = 1.79 T
Hence the average field strength is 1.79 T
