a straight wire that is 0.60m long and carrying a current of 2.0a is placed at an angle with respect to a magnetic field of strenght 0.30t if the wire experiences a force of magnitude 0.18 n what angle does the wire

Respuesta :

Answer:

The  angle is  [tex]\theta = 30^o[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The length of the wire is  [tex]l = 0.60 \ m[/tex]

    The current is  [tex]I = 2.0 \ A[/tex]

    The magnetic field strength is  [tex]B = 0.30 \ T[/tex]

     The magnitude of the magnetic force is  [tex]F _b = 0.18 \ N[/tex]

Generally the magnetic force exerted on the wire is mathematically represented as

      [tex]F_b = I * l * B * sin \theta[/tex]

Making [tex]\theta[/tex] the subject

      [tex]\theta =sin^{-1} [ \frac{ F_b }{I * l * B } ][/tex]

substituting values    

      [tex]\theta =sin^{-1} [ \frac{ 0.18 }{ 2.0 * 0.6 * 0.3 } ][/tex]

     [tex]\theta = 30^o[/tex]
