Question

A 0.46m copper rod with a mass of 0.19 kg carries a current of 11 A in the positive x direction. Let upward be the positive y direction. What is the magnitude of the minimum magnetic field needed to levitate the rod ?
What is the direction of the minimum magnetic field needed to levitate the rod ? A 0.46m copper rod with a mass of 0.19 kg carries a current of 11 A in the positive x direction. Let upward be the positive y direction. What is the magnitude of the minimum magnetic field needed to levitate the rod ?
What is the direction of the minimum magnetic field needed to levitate the rod ? What is the magnitude of the minimum magnetic field needed to levitate the rod ?
What is the direction of the minimum magnetic field needed to levitate the rod ?

Explanation / Answer

Minimum magnetic force = weight

BiL = mg

B*11 * 0.46 = 0.19*9.8

B = 0.367 T
