Question

A straight, vertical wire carries a current of 1.18 A downward in a region between the poles of a large superconducting electromagnet, where the magnetic field ha a magnitude of B = 0.597 T and is horizontal Part E What is the magnitude of the magnetic force on a section of the wire with a length of 1.00 cm that is in this uniform magnetic field, if the magnetic field direction is 30.0 '' south of west? Part F What angle with the magnetic force on this segment of wire make relative to the north, if the magnetic field direction is 30 0 '' south of west?

Explanation / Answer

magnetic force Facting on a wire = F = iLB sin theta

Force F = ?

current i = 1.18A

B is magnetic field B = 0.597 T/s

Force F = 1.18 * 0.597 * 0.01 * sin 30

F = 0.0035 N

---------------------------------------------------

angle = 90 - 30 = 60 deg
