A wire is oriented along the x-axis. It is connected to two batteries, and a conventional current of 2.6 A runs through the wire, in the x direction. Along 0.17 m of the length of the wire there is a magnetic field of 0.52 tesla in the y direction, due to a large magnet nearby. At other locations in the circuit, the magnetic field due to external sources is negligible. What is the magnitude of the magnetic force on the wire

Answer:

the magnitude of the magnetic force on the wire is 0.2298 N

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we know that, the magnitude of magnetic force is given as;

|F[tex]_{mg}^>[/tex] | = I([tex]B^>[/tex] × [tex]L^>[/tex] )

given that

I = 2.6 A

[tex]B^>[/tex] = 0.17

[tex]L^>[/tex] = 0.52

so we substitute

|F[tex]_{mg}^>[/tex] | = 2.6( 0.17i" × 0.52j" )

|F[tex]_{mg}^>[/tex] | = 0.2298 N

Therefore, the magnitude of the magnetic force on the wire is 0.2298 N
