  1. Current in the wire, I = 8 A

    Magnitude of the uniform magnetic field, B = 0.15 T

    Angle between the wire and magnetic field, 0 = 30°. Magnetic force per unit length on the wire is given as: f = BI sin0 = 0.15 x 8 x 1 x Sin30° = 0.6 N m1

    Hence, the magnetic force per unit length on the wire is 0.6 N m⁻1.
