Concept explainers
The force on a current-carrying wire of a given length kept in a uniform magnetic field.
Answer to Problem 67A
The force on the wire is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A wire of length 25 cm carrying a current of 6.0 A is kept in a uniform magnetic field of strength 0.30 T at an angle of
Formula Used:
The force acting on a wire carrying current is dependent on the strength of magnetic field, the current, length of the wire and the angle which the wire makes with the magnetic field. It is mathematically expressed as,
Calculation:
For the given strength of magnetic field
Conclusion:
The force on the current carrying wire is 0.45 N.
