A straight wire carries a current of 10 A at an angle of 30° with respect to the direction of a uniform 0.30-T magnetic field. Find the magnitude of the magnetic force on a 0.50-m length of the wire.

Explanation:

Given that,

Current in wire is

I = 10A

And the current makes an angle of 30° with respect to the magnetic field

Then, θ = 30°

And the magnetic field is

B = 0.3 T

Length of the wire is

L = 0.5m

Force on the wire F?

The force on the wire in calculated using

F = iL × B

Where

The magnitude of the cross produce of L and B is

L × B = LB•Sinθ

Then, force becomes

F = iLB•Sinθ

F = 10 × 0.5 × 0.3 × Sin30

F = 0.75 N

The force on the wire is 0.75 Newton
