1. 2. A 40 cm conductor cuts through a magnetic field of 0.50 T at an angle of 60 to the field. If the wire carries a current of 20 A, what is the deflecting force on the conductor? (3.5 N) A single conductor in a power transmission line is 40 m long and carries a current of 80 A from east to west. It lies perpendicularly across the Earth's magnetic field somewhere in Canada. If the Earth's magnetic flux density is 2.0 x 107 T, what is the magnitude and direction of the deflecting force on the transmission line? (6.4 x 104 N down)
