Answer to Question #258735 in Electricity and Magnetism for Ella

Question

1. A wire that is 40 cm long is parallel to a 0.67-T uniform magnetic field. There is 5.6 A current through the wire. How much force acts on the wire?

Answer 1

F=BIL

Where B is magnetic field, I is current and L is length.

$F=0.67×5.6×0.4=1.5N$

Therefore Force=1.5N
