A wire 0.57 m long carrying a current of 9.7 A
is at right angles to a uniform magnetic field.
The force on the wire is 0.49 N.
What is the strength of the magnetic field?
Answer in units of T

Respuesta :

The strength of the magnetic field is 0.089 T

Explanation:

The force caused by a magnetic field on a current-carrying wire is given by the equation

[tex]F=ILB sin \theta[/tex]

where

I is the current in the wire

L is the length of the wire

B is the strength of the magnetic field

[tex]\theta[/tex] is the angle between the direction of the field and the wire

In this problem, we have

L = 0.57 m

I = 9.7 A

F = 0.49 N

[tex]\theta=90^{\circ}[/tex] since the wire is perpendicular to the field

Solving for B, we find the strength of the field:

[tex]B=\frac{F}{ILsin \theta}=\frac{0.49}{(9.7)(0.57)(sin 90^{\circ})}=0.089 T[/tex]
