Answer:
the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field in the region through which the current passes is 0.008 T and +z direction.
Explanation:
given information:
current, I = 20 A
magnetic force per unit length, F/L = 0.16 N/m
the conductor in the negative y-direction
θ = 90° (perpendicular)
as we know the formula to calculate magnetic force is
F = B I L sin θ
B = F/(I L sin θ)
= (F/L) (1/I sin θ)
= 0.16 (1/15 sin 90)
= 0.008 T
since F is in the negative y direction, based of the right hand rule the magnetic field is in positive z direction
Answer:
Explanation:
Given:
current, I = 20 A
Magnetic force per unit length, F/L
= 0.16 N/m
Conductor in the negative y-direction, therefore θ = 90° (perpendicular)
For a magnetic field,
F = B I L sin θ
B = F/(I L sin θ)
= 0.16 × (1/15 sin 90)
= 0.008 T
The field is in the +ve z - direction.
