Answer:
i = 4.9 A
Explanation:
The expression for the magnetic force in a wire carrying a current is
F = i L x B
bold letters indicate vectors.
The direction of the cable is towards the East, the direction of the magnetic field is towards the North, so the vector product is in the vertical direction (z-axis) upwards and the weight of the cable is vertical downwards. Let's apply the equilibrium condition
F - W = 0
i L B = m g
They indicate the linear density of the cable λ = 0.2 kg / m
λ = m / L
m = λ L
we substitute
i B = λ g
i =
let's calculate
i = 0.2 9.8 / 0.4
i = 4.9 A
Answer:
Please refer to the figure.
Explanation:
The magnitude of the magnetic field can be found by Biot-Savart Law. We should divide the loop into four components. Each component has a similar solution but their directions are quite different.
The directions can be found by right-hand rule. Point your index finger into the direction of current, point your middle finger towards the target point (0,0,a). Your thumb will show you the direction of magnetic field.
