A device called a railgun uses the magnetic force on currents to launch projectiles at very high speeds. An idealized model of a railgun is illustrated in (Figure 1). A 1.2 V power supply is connected to two conducting rails. A segment of copper wire, in a region of uniform magnetic field, slides freely on the rails. The wire has a 0.85 mΩ resistance and a mass of 4.4 g . Ignore the resistance of the rails. The power supply is switched on. What is the current?

Magnetic Force

A magnetic force arises when a charged particle or a current-carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field. It is created because of the movement of the charged particles.
