Question
A wire is oriented along the x-axis. It is connected to two batteries, and a conventional current of 2.6 A runs through the wire, in the x direction. Along 0.17 m of the length of the wire there is a magnetic field of 0.52 tesla in the y direction, due to a large magnet nearby. At other locations in the circuit, the magnetic field due to external sources is negligible. What is the magnitude of the magnetic force on the wire

Answer:
the magnitude of the magnetic force on the wire is 0.2298 N
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
we know that, the magnitude of magnetic force is given as;
|F
| = I(
×
)
given that
I = 2.6 A
so we substitute
|F
| = 2.6( 0.17i” × 0.52j” )
|F
| = 0.2298 N
Therefore, the magnitude of the magnetic force on the wire is 0.2298 N
