Chapter-4 Exercise 4.5
What is the magnitude of magnetic force per unit length on a wire carrying a current of 8 A and making an angle of 30º with the direction of a uniform magnetic field of 0.15 T?
Share
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.
