Question: Problem 7 : ( 1 0 % of Assignment Value ) A wire of length L = 0 . 3 5 m and mass m

Problem 7: (10% of Assignment Value)
A wire of length L=0.35m and mass m=0.055kg carries a current of I=0.55A. The wire is floating at rest in a magnetic field as shown in the figure.
Randomized Variables
L=0.35m
m=0.055kg
I=0.55A
Part (a)
What are the forces acting on the wire, and which directions do they go?
Gravity, downward. Magnetic force, upward.
Correct!
Part (b)
Express the magnitude of the magnetic force in terms of the current I, length L and the magnetic field B.
F=ILB
Correct!
Part (c)
Given the fact that the wire is floating at rest, derive an expression for B.
