A long wire carrying a 5.75 A current reverses direction by means of two right-a

Question

A long wire carrying a 5.75A current reverses direction by means of two right-angle bends, as shown in the figure (Figure 1) . The part of the wire where the bend occurs is in a magnetic field of 0.666T confined to the circular region of diameter 75.0cm , as shown. Assume that I= 5.75A and d=41.5cm

Find the magnitude of the net force that the magnetic field exerts on this wire.

Assume that I= 5.75A and d=41.5cm Find the magnitude of the net force that the magnetic field exerts on this wire.

Explanation / Answer

FB = I*l*b

FB = 5.75*0.415 m*0.666

= 1.59 N
