Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Problem 6:**
A wire of linear mass density of 10 g/m is in a magnetic field of 3 T that is pointing in a horizontal direction. What current do you have to send through the wire so that the wire does not move up or down?
**Explanation:**
This problem requires balancing the force of gravity acting on the wire with the magnetic force that will act on it due to the current. The linear mass density, magnetic field strength, and directionality are given, and the task is to determine the necessary current to maintain equilibrium.
