Question
2.1. When a collection of charges move in a wire as a current, the wire force when placed in a magnetic field. In esch of the below cases, determine the direction ofthe force on each current-carrying wire. may experience a 2.2. 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 of 1.60 T in the positive z direction. If the current in the wire is in the positive x direction, what is the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force on the section of the wire?Explanation / Answer
2.2)
magnetic force is
F = i*B*l*Sin
B = 1.6 T in the z direction
i = 2.4 A
l = 0.75 A in the x- direction
= 90 ( since angle between z and x axes is 90)
F = 1.6 x 2.4 x 0.75 x sin(90)
F = 2.88 N
