Force on Current-Carrying Conductors

A 4.0 cm long straight wire carrying a current of 8 A is placed perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field of strength 0.15 T. The magnetic force on the wire is ________mN.

Numerical answer type. Work it out, then open the answer.

Show answer and solution

Answer: 48

  1. F=BILsin⁡90∘F = BIL\sin 90^\circ
  2. F=0.15×8×0.04=0.048 NF = 0.15 \times 8 \times 0.04 = 0.048\text{ N}
  3. So F=48 mNF = 48\text{ mN}.
