A conductor carrying a current I = 16.2 A is directed along the positive x axis

Question

A conductor carrying a current I = 16.2 A is directed along the positive x axis and perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field. A magnetic force per unit length of 0.129 N/m acts on the conductor in the negative y direction. (a) Determine the magnitude of the magnetic field in the region through which the current passes. ............T (b) Determine the direction of the magnetic field in the region through which the current passes. +x direction ?x direction +y direction ?y direction +z direction ?z direction

Explanation / Answer

b) By fleming left hand rule, direction of mag field is positive z direction a) F = ilB ie F/l = 0.129 = i*B = 16.2 B ie B = 7.963 * 10^-3 T Hope you like it:)
