Question

A wire is bent as shown in the figure (Figure 1) and placed in a magnetic field with a magnitude of 1.0T in the indicated direction.

Find the magnitude of the net force on the whole wire if x = 40cm and it carries a current of 5.0A in the direction shown.

Express your answer using two significant figures.

Explanation / Answer

FOR A CURRENT CARRYING WIRE IN MAGNETIC FIELD

F=I(L * B) (CROSS PRODUCT)

FOR THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE WIRE EQUAL CURRENT IS FLOWING BUT IN OPPOSITE DIRECTION ,EQUAL LENGTH ... SO FORCE WILL CANCEL OUT ,

SO FORCE ON MIDDLE WIRE WILL BE NET FORCE=

F= I(L*B)= 5( 1.2 * 1)=6.0N

IT IS UPWARD DIRECTED
