Question

A wire is oriented along the x-axis. It is connected to two batteries, and a conventional current of 2.6 A runs through the wire, in the x direction. Along 0.17 m of the length of the wire there is a magnetic field of 0.52 tesla in the y direction, due to a large magnet nearby. At other locations in the circuit, the magnetic field due to external sources is negligible. What is the magnitude of the magnetic force on the wire

Answer 1

Answer:

the magnitude of the magnetic force on the wire is 0.2298 N

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we know that, the magnitude of magnetic force is given as;

|F$_{mg}^>$ | = I($B^>$ × $L^>$ )

given that

I = 2.6 A

$B^>$ = 0.17

$L^>$ = 0.52

so we substitute

|F$_{mg}^>$ | = 2.6( 0.17i" × 0.52j" )

|F$_{mg}^>$ | = 0.2298 N

Therefore, the magnitude of the magnetic force on the wire is 0.2298 N
