Question

A current, I = 16 A is directed along the positive x-axis and perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field. The conductor experiences a magnetic force per unit length of 0.35 N/m in the negative y direction. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field in the region through which the current passes.
1. T
2. Which one?
---Select--- in the negative z direction
in the negative x direction
in the positive z direction
in the negative y direction
in the positive y direction
in the positive x direction

Explanation / Answer

1.

F = B i L

0.35 = B *16

B = 0.021875 T


2. in the positive z direction
