- A long straight wire (length =180 cm) is lying flat on a table with a current of 5.8 A toward the South. At a given instant in time a 15 nC charge is at a location 3.5 cm left (West) of the wire, travelling in a direction parallel to wire North with a speed of 4.8E6 m/s. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force on the 15 nC charge.arrow_forwardYour answer is partially correct. One long wire lies along an x axis and carries a current of 57 A in the positive x direction. A second long wire is perpendicular to the xy plane, passes through the point (0, 7.2 m, 0), and carries a current of 45 A in the positive z direction. What is the magnitude of the resulting magnetic field at the point (0, 2.0 m, 0)?

Wire 1 consists of a circular arc of radius R = 0.017 m and two radial lengths; it carries current i₁ = 2.0 A in the direction indicated. Wire 2 is long and straight; it carries a current is that can be varied; and it is at distance R/2 from the center of the arc. The net magnetic field B due to the two currents is measured at the center of curvature of the arc. Figure (b) is a plot of the component of B in the direction perpendicular to the figure as a function of current i2. The horizontal scale is set by i2s = 1.0 A.
