Answer:
a) F = 0.01234N to the south direction
b) F = 0.01234N to the north direction
c) F = 0.01234N
d) North of West
Explanation:
The magnetic force in a magnetic field is given by:
Length of the wire, l = 1 cm = 0.01 m
Current flowing through the wire, I = 2.15 A
a) If the magnetic field direction is east
∅ = 90
F = 0.574 * 2.15 * 0.01
F = 0.01234 N to the south direction according to the Fleming's Right Hand Rule
b) If the magnetic field direction is south
The magnitude of the magnetic force remains the same
That is , F = BIL sin 90
F = 0.01234 N to the west
c) If the magnetic field direction is 30 degrees south
The angle between the magnetic field and the length of the wire still remains 90 degrees
Therefore the magnitude of the force still remains 0.01234
F = 0.01234 N
d) the direction of the force is the North of West
