Question

Problem 83PE

Integrated Concepts (a) What is the direction of the force on a wire carrying a current due east in a location where the Earth’s field is due north? Both are parallel to the ground. (b) Calculate the force per meter if the wire carries 20.0 A and the field strength is 3.00×10−5 T . (c) What diameter copper wire would have its weight supported by this force? (d) Calculate the resistance per meter and the voltage per meter needed.

Solution

Solution 83PE

a.) The direction of the magnetic force can be determined by the right hand rule-1.

According to this rule for a positive moving charge, right thumb is in the direction of velocity, fingers point in the direction of magnetic field and palm points in the direction of magnetic force.
