A wire carries a 11.3-mA current along the +x-axis through a magnetic field = (16.2 + 2.4 ĵ) T. If the wire experiences a force of -15.7 N as a result, how long is the wire?

The length of the wire is 579 m

Explanation:

Given;

current on the wire, I =  11.3-mA

magnetic field of the wire, B = (16.2i + 2.4 ĵ) T

Magnitude of force experience by the wire, F = 15.7 N

Magnitude of force experience by  current carrying wire at a given a magnetic field strength is calculated as;

F = BILsinθ

Where;

B is magnitude of magnetic field

F is the force on the wire

L is length of the wire

θ is direction of the magnetic field

Length of the wire is calculated as;

Therefore, the length of the wire is 579 m

i think the answer would be reserve.

speed of light in vacuum is 300,000 km/s

speed of light in other mediums is given by the expression v = c/n, where c is the speed of light in vacuum and n is the refractive index of medium.

for the first medium v = 200,000 km/s

  so, refractive index of medium = 300000/200000 = 1.5

    1.5 refractive index is usually for glass. so first medium is glass.

for the second medium v = 250,00 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/250000 = 1.2

    1.2 refractive index is usually for water. so second medium is water.

for the third medium v = 0 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/0 = ∞

    ∞ refractive index is usually for opaque mediums. so third medium is opaque medium.
