Answer:
7.28×10⁻⁵ T
Explanation:
Applying,
F = BILsin∅............. Equation 1
Where F = magnetic force, B = earth's magnetic field, I = current flowing through the wire, L = Length of the wire, ∅ = angle between the field and the wire.
make B the subject of the equation
B = F/ILsin∅.................. Equation 2
From the question,
Given: F = 0.16 N, I = 68 A, L = 34 m, ∅ = 72°
Substitute these values into equation 2
B = 0.16/(68×34×sin72°)
B = 0.16/(68×34×0.95)
B = 0.16/2196.4
B = 7.28×10⁻⁵ T
