Question

1. A wire of length 0.675 mcarries a current of 21.0 A. In the presence of a 0.470 T magneticfield, the wire experiences a force of 5.59 N. What is the angle (less than 90°)between the wire and the magnetic field?
2. A wire carries a current of 0.66 A. This wire makes anangle of 58° with respect to a magnetic field of magnitude5.70 X 10-5 T.The wire experiences a magnetic force of magnitude 8.10 X 10-5 N. What is thelength of the wire?

Explanation / Answer

Q1)     length of the wire, L = 0.675 m     current, I = 21 A     Magnetic field, B = 0.47 T     Force, F = 5.59 N     Angle between wire and magnetic field, =?     F = B I L Sin    5.59 = 0.47 * 21 * 0.675 * sin        Sin = 0.8390             = 57.04o Q2)     length of the wire, L = ?     current, I = 0.66 A     Magnetic field, B = 5.70 X 10-5 T     Force, F = 8.10 X10-5 N     Angle between wire and magnetic field, =58o     F = B I L Sin    8.10 X10-5 = 5.70 X10-5 * 0.66 * L * sin 58o               L = 2.54m
