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)

305.7

explanation:

density =m/v

density =917/3.00

density = 305.

approximately = 305.7

in four significant figures
