Question: A long current-carrying wire is parallel to the x-axis with conventional current I = 1.25A along the +x direction. A magnetic field B = 1.45T
A long current-carrying wire is parallel to the x-axis with conventional current I = 1.25A along the +x direction. A magnetic field B = 1.45T lies in the x-z plane, directed 37 degrees away from the x-axis.
a) Draw a labeled diagram of the situation.
b) What is the direction of the magnetic force on the wire? Tell the factors on which this direction depends.
c) What is the magnitude of the magnetic force acting on a 1.25m-long section of the wire? (3A)
