Question

Chapter 28, Problem 048 A long, rigid conductor, lying along an x axis, carries a current of 7.92 A in the negative x direction. A magnetic field B is present, given by B = 3.38 i + 7.97 x2 j , with x in meters and B in milliteslas. Find (a) the x-component, (b) the y-component, and (c) the z-component of the force on the 0.720 m segment of the conductor that lies between x = 1.83 m and x = 2.55 m.

Explanation / Answer

F = L*(i x B) = 0.72*[(-7.92 i) x (3.38i +7.97x^2 j )] = - 45.44x^2 k N

a) x - component = 0

b) y - component = 0

c) z- component = -45.44x^2 N
