a. the wire is placed in a uniform magnetic field that has a magnitude of 1.24 t. what is the angle between the wire segment and the magnetic field if the force on the wire is 0.26 n? 37° 43° 23° 53° 67°

Respuesta :

The intensity of the magnetic force exerted on the wire due to the presence of the magnetic field is given by
[tex]F=ILB \sin \theta[/tex]
where
I is the current in the wire
L is the length of the wire
B is the magnetic field intensity
[tex]\theta[/tex] is the angle between the direction of the wire and the magnetic field

In our problem, L=65 cm=0.65 m, I=0.35 A and B=1.24 T. The force on the wire is F=0.26 N, therefore we can rearrange the equation to find the sine of the angle:
[tex]\sin \theta= \frac{F}{ILB}= \frac{0.26 N}{(0.35 A)(0.65 m)(1.24 T)}=0.922 [/tex]

and so, the angle is
[tex]\theta=\arcsin(0.921)=67.1^{\circ}[/tex]

The angle between the wire segment and the magnetic field is about 67°

Further explanation

Let's recall magnetic force on conducting wire as follows:

[tex]\boxed{F = B I L \sin \theta}[/tex]

where:

F = magnetic force ( N )

B = magnetic field strength ( T )

I = current ( A )

L = length of wire ( m )

θ = angle between magnetic field and the wire segment

Let's tackle the problem now !

[tex]\texttt{ }[/tex]

Given:

length of wire = L = 65 cm = 0.65 m

current = I = 0.35 A

magnetic field strength = B = 1.24 T

magnitude of force = F = 0.26 N

Asked:

angle between magnetic field and the wire segment = θ = ?

Solution:

[tex]F = B I L \sin \theta[/tex]

[tex]0.26 = 1.24 \times 0.35 \times 0.65 \times \sin \theta[/tex]

[tex]\sin \theta = \frac{200}{217}[/tex]

[tex]\theta = \sin^{-1} (\frac{200}{217})[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{\theta \approx 67^o}[/tex]

Conclusion:

The angle between the wire segment and the magnetic field is about 67°
