Step-by-step solution
3 stepshere's the solution for question 12:
Given:
Length of wire,
Current,
Force on the wire,
The wire is at right angles to the magnetic field, so .
Recall the formula for the magnetic force on a current-carrying wire.
The formula is .
Substitute the given values into the formula.
Since the wire is at right angles to the magnetic field, .
Solve for the magnetic field strength, .
The strength of the magnetic field is .
