A straight wire in a magnetic field experiences a force of 0.017 N when the current in the wire is 1.1 A. The current in the wire is changed, and the wire experiences a force of 0.077 N as a result. What is the new current

The new current in the straight wire is 4.98 A

Explanation:

Given;

initial magnetic force on the wire, F₁ = 0.017 N

initial current flowing on the straight wire, I₁ = 1.1 A

When the current in the wire is changed,

new magnetic force on the wire, F₂ =  0.077 N

the new current in the wire, I₂ = ?

Applying equation of magnetic force on conductor;

F₁ = I₁BLsinθ

F₂ = I₂BLsinθ

BLsinθ  = F₁/I₁ = F₂/I₂

I₂ = (F₂I₁)/F₁

I₂ = (0.077 x 1.1) / 0.017

I₂ = 4.98 A

Therefore, the new current in the straight wire is 4.98 A

luster is not a good characteristic to use by itself because luster is the property of minerals that indicates how much the surface of a mineral reflects light. the luster of a mineral is affected by the brilliance of the light used to observe the mineral surface.
