Answer to Question #159808 in Electric Circuits for zain ul abdeen

Question

 A wire carries a steady current of 2.40 A. A straight section of the wire is 0.750 m long and lies along the x-axis within a uniform magnetic field, If the current is in the x-direction, what is the magnetic force on the section of wire? 

Answer 1

Answer

The magnetic field on the segment of wire

$F=IL\times B$

Using current I=2.4A

Length L=0.750m

So using above equation magnetic field is found

B=1.6T
