Question
A wire carrying a 35.0 A current passes between the poles of a strong magnet such that the wire is perpendicular to the magnet’s field, and there is a 2.55 N force on the 3.00 cm of wire in the field. What is the average field strength (in T) between the poles of the magnet

Answer:
7.65 T
Explanation:
From the question,
Using,
F = BILsinФ……………………. Equation 1
Where F = Force, B = magnetic field strength, I = current, L = Length, Ф = Angle.
Make B the subject of the equation
B = F/ILsinФ……………………Equation 2
Given: F = 2.55 N, I = 32 A, L = 3.00 cm = 0.03 m, Ф = 90° (perpendicular)
Substitute into equation 2
B = 2.55/(32×0.03×sin90°)
B = 2.55/0.96
B = 7.65 T
