Question: A long, rigid wire lying along the y - axis carries a 5 A current flowing in the positive y - direction. If a constant

A long, rigid wire lying along the y-axis carries a 5 A current flowing in the positive y-direction. If a constant magnetic field of magnitude 0.3 T is directed along the positive x-axis, what is the magnetic force per unit length on the wire?
1.5 N/m positive z-axis
1.5 N/m negative z-axis
0.06 N/m negative z-axis
0.06 N/m positive z-axis1)
2QUESTION 2
A wire of length 50 cm and mass 10 g is suspended in a horizontal plane (positive y-axis) by a pair of flexible leads. The wire is then subjected to a constant magnetic field of magnitude 0.5 T, oriented along the negative x-axis. What are the magnitude and direction of the current in the wire needed to remove the tension in the supporting leads?
0.39 A negative z-axis
3.92 A negative z-axis
0.39 A positive z-axis
3.92 A positive z-axis
