A wire carries a current of 0.76 A. This wire makes an angle of 46° with respect to a magnetic field of magnitude 6.0 × 10-5 T. The wire experiences a magnetic force of magnitude 9.4 × 10-5 N. What is the length of the wire?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The length of the wire is 2.86 m

Explanation:

Given:

Current [tex]I = 0.76[/tex] A

Magnetic field [tex]B = 6 \times 10^{-5}[/tex] T

Force [tex]F = 9.4 \times 10^{-5}[/tex] N

Angle between wire and magnetic field [tex]\theta =[/tex] 46°

The magnetic force on the current carrying wire is given by,

  [tex]F = BIl\sin \theta[/tex]

Where [tex]l =[/tex] length of wire

   [tex]l = \frac{F}{BI \sin 46}[/tex]

   [tex]l = \frac{9.4 \times 10^{-5} }{6 \times 10^{-5}\times 0.76 \times 0.7193}[/tex]

   [tex]l = 2.86[/tex] m

Therefore, the length of the wire is 2.86 m
