What is the magnetic force on a 2.0-m length of (straight)wire carrying a current of 30 A in a region where a uniform magnetic field has a magnitude of 55 mT and is directed at an angle of 20$\degree$ away from the wire?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The magnetic force on a current carrying wire in a magnetic field is given by the equation: F = I L B sinθ, where I is the current, L is the length of wire, B is the magnetic field, and θ is the angle between the wire and the magnetic field. Plugging in the given values, we get F = (30 A) (2.0 m) (55 mT) sin(20°) = 1.1 N. Therefore the answer is choice C.
