Question

In procedure 1: a horizontal wire carries a positive current that runs from right to left. A uniform magnetic field B lies along the length of the wire so the direction of the force F on the wire is upward.


c) Suppose, in procedure 3, you vary the length of the wire (keepig the magnetic field and current constant), and plot the force on the wire vs. the length of the wire.

If you now increase the magnetic field and repeat the process: what will happen to the graph?
the slope decreases; the y-intercept increases
the slope remains the same; the y-intercept increases
the slope remains the same, the y-intercept decreases
the slope increases; the y-intercept increases
the slope increases, the y-intercept decreases
the slope decreases, the y-intercept decreases
the slope remains the same; the y-intercept remains the same
the slope decreases; the y-intercept remains the same
the slope increases; the y-intercept remains the same
