Find the force on 7.0 cm of conductor bearing a current of 6A if it lies perpendicular to a magnetic field of intensity 1.2 T and the wire makes an angle of 60° with the magnetic field?
Homework Equations
F = IlB sin θThe Attempt at a Solution
The magnetic force is easy to find:
F = 6 * (7/100) * 1.2 * (sin 60)
F = 0.436
How do you find the direction of the force?
Yes, it is possible to find the direction of magnetic force even if the angle is not 90 degrees. This is because the direction of magnetic force is always perpendicular to both the direction of the magnetic field and the direction of the moving charged particle.
The direction of magnetic force can be calculated using the right-hand rule. The thumb of the right hand represents the direction of the moving charged particle, the fingers represent the direction of the magnetic field, and the palm represents the direction of the magnetic force.
Yes, the magnitude of the magnetic force is affected by the angle between the direction of the moving charged particle and the direction of the magnetic field. As the angle increases, the magnitude of the magnetic force decreases.
Yes, the direction of magnetic force can change if the angle is changed. This is because the direction of the magnetic force is always perpendicular to the direction of the moving charged particle and the magnetic field.
The angle between the direction of the moving charged particle and the direction of the magnetic field determines the path of the particle in the magnetic field. If the angle is 90 degrees, the particle will move in a circular path. As the angle deviates from 90 degrees, the path becomes more elliptical.
