Question
A 9-cm-long straight wire is parallel with the x axis and carries a current of 1.9A in the +x direction. The force on this wire due to the presence of a magnetic field B is 2.7N ^j +1.7N ^k. If this wire is rotated so that it is parallel with the y axis with the current in the +y direction, the force on the wire becomes is −2.7N ^I −1.7N ^k. Determine the magnetic field B.
