A wire with a mass of 1.14 g/cm is placed on a horizontal surface with a coefficient of friction of 0.200. The wire carries a current of 1.41 A eastward and moves horizontally to the north. What are the magnitude and the direction of the smallest magnetic field that enables the wire to move in this fashion?

Explanation:

let this sign be ∅ (titha in degrees)

let coefficient of friction of 0.200 be u

and i be current i= 1.41A

mass m=1.14g/cm m=0.0114g/m

To find the magnetic field from the north will be:

tan ∅= u

∅=

∅=11.3°

The direction:

i L*B cos(∅)=  umg

divide both by iLcos(∅) to find B

B=  where m=
