Along, rigid conductor, lying along an x axis, carries a current of 4.99 a in the negative x direction. a magnetic field is present, given by = 3.72 + 8.72 x2, with x in meters and in milliteslas. find (a) the x-component, (b) the y-component, and (c) the z-component of the force on the 1.36 m segment of the conductor that lies between x = 1.41 m and x = 2.77 m.

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Current in conductor=I=4.99 A  (-x direction)

Magnetic field=B=

(1mT=)

x(in m) and B (in mT)

Length of conductor is given in negative x- direction

Force on current carrying conductor is given by

Integrating on both sides then we get

 (

a. x- component of force=0

b.y- component of force=0

c.z- component of force=-0.268 N

i think it’s a. this is because if they measured the mass of something with a mass of 150g, then their final answer would have to be approximately 150g. though all of their answers are almost 150, rosa and tran have the closest answers (or the exact answer) to the accurate one.
