Answer:
I = 0.44 A
Explanation:
The magnetic force on a conductor is given by the expression
F = I L x B
Where bold letters indicate vectors, I is the current, L is the vector in the direction of the current, and B is the magnetic field
Since the force is maximum, the wire must be perpendicular to the magnetic field, therefore
F = I L B sin 90
I = F / L B
Let's calculate
I = 1.2 / 1.5 1.8
I = 0.44 A
Answer:
The current that must be passing through the wire is 0.444 A
Explanation:
Given data:
L = length of straight wire = 1.5 m
F = force = 1.2 N
B = magnetic field = 1.8 T
The force in a straight wire is equal to:
[tex]F=ILB\\I=\frac{F}{LB} =\frac{1.2}{1.5*1.8} =0.444A[/tex]
