A wire 2.80 m in length carries a current of 5.20 A in a region where a uniform magnetic field has a magnitude of 0.430 T. Calculate the magnitude of the magnetic force on the wire assuming the following angles between the magnetic field and the current.

Question:

A wire 2.80 m in length carries a current of 5.20 A in a region where a uniform magnetic field has a magnitude of 0.430 T. Calculate the magnitude of the magnetic force on the wire assuming the following angles between the magnetic field and the current.

(a)60 (b)90 (c)120

(a)5.42 N (b)6.26 N (c)5.42 N

Explanation:

From the question

Length of wire (L) = 2.80 m

Current in wire (I) = 5.20 A

Magnetic field (B) = 0.430 T

Angle are different in each part.

The magnetic force is given by

So from data

Now sub parts

(a)

(b)

(c)

the total distance that martina travels that day is

(distance from home to mom's office) plus (distance from mom's office to school)

plus (distance from school to library) plus (distance from library to friend's house)

plus (distance from friend's house to martina's house).

(we don't know what any of these distance actually is.)
