A current-carrying wire of length 50 cm is positioned perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field. The magnetic field strength is 0.6 Tesla.
What is magnetic field?
The magnetic field is the region of space where an object experiences a magnetic force as it enters the field.
Given is the wire of length 50 cm = 0.5 m and the current is 10.0 A. There is a resultant force of 3.0 N on the wire due to the interaction of the current and field.
The relation between magnetic field strength and current is
F = ILB
Substituting 50 for L, 10 for I and 3 for F, we get the magnetic field strength B.
3 = 10 × 0.5 × B
B= 0.6 Tesla
Therefore, the magnetic field strength is 0.6 Tesla.
