Question
A straight wire segment of length L makes an angle of 17.0 degrees with respect to the x axis. The wire carries a current of 8.00 A in the direction shown in the figure. There is a magnetic field in the vicinity of the wire which points in the negative z direction with a magnitude given by B=B_0(x/L), where B0=2.10 T and L=1.40 m.
What is the y component of the force on the wire segment?
