Question
A conductor carrying a current I = 14.6 A is directed along the positive x axis and perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field. A magnetic force per unit length of 0.119 N/m acts on the conductor in the negative y direction.
(a) Determine the magnitude of the magnetic field in the region through which the current passes.T

Answer
Given,
Current, I = 14.6 A
magnetic force per unit length = 0.119 N/m
Magnitude of magnetic field = B = ?
a) F = ILB sin θ
θ = 90°
So,
b) The direction of magnetic field is in +z direction.
