Question

Transcribed Image Text:Imagine that a wire lying on a table carries 2 A of conventional current. All along the wire is a uniform magnetic field directed upwards that has a magnitude of 0.03 T (about the
strength of a typical refrigerator magnet). What is the magnitude of the magnetic force acting on each centimeter of the wire?
Give your answer in units of mN (10-³ N).
