Question
A wire of length 0.85 m is conducting a current of 9.5 A toward the top of the page and through a 5.0-T uniform magnetic field directed into the page, as shown in the figure on the right. What are the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force on the wire?
A wire of length 0.85 m is conducting a current of 9.5 A toward the top of the page and through a 5.0-T uniform magnetic field directed into the page, as shown in the figure on the right. What are the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force on the wire?Explanation / Answer
Magnetic field force=(IXB).dL=9.5X.85X5=40.375N
And it is cross product,direction of force according to right hand rule will be towards the left.
