The electric current carried in a typical household circuit is about 1 A, and the Earths magnetic
Question:
The electric current carried in a typical household circuit is about 1 A, and the Earth’s magnetic field is about 5x10-5 T. What is the approximate magnitude of the magnetic force on such a wire if its length is 1 m? Could you detect this force if you were holding the wire? Compare this force to the weight of some terrestrial object (such as a mosquito).
