Answer:
Explanation:
Given:
Lengths of various segments on the wire:
LAB = 1.3 m
LBC = 0.6 m
LCD = 0.6 m
Current, I = 2.4 A
Magnetc field, B = 0.24 T
Note that this points in the z direction.
F = I × L × B × sinθ
(The length is perpendicular to the magnetic field)
For segment AB,
FAB = I × L × B × sinθ
θ = 90°
= 2.4 × 1.3 × 0.24 × sin 90
= 0.7488 N
= 0.75 N
For segment BC,
FBC = I × L × B × sinθ
θ = 90°
= 2.4 × 0.6 × 0.24 × sin 90
= 0.3456 N
= 0.35 N
For segment CD,
θ = 0° (parallel to the magnetic field)
FBC = I × L × B × sinθ
= 2.4 × 0.6 × 0.24 × sin 0
= 0 N
