A wire of length 0.50 m carries a current of 0.10 A inthe positive x-direction, parallel to the ground. If thewire has a weight of 1.0 3 1022 N, what is the minimummagnitude magnetic field that exerts a magneticforce on the wire equal to the wires weight? (a) 0.20 T(b) 0.30 T (c) 0.40 T (d) 0.50 T (e) 0.60 T

Question
A 0.200-kg metal rod carrying a current of 10.0 Aglides on two horizontal rails 0.500 m apart. What verticalmagnetic field is required to keep the rod movingat a constant speed if the coefficient of kinetic frictionbetween the rod and rails is 0.100?
Solution
The first step in solving 19 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A 0.200-kg metal rod carrying a current of 10.0 Aglides on two horizontal rails 0.500 m apart. What verticalmagnetic field is required to keep the rod movingat a constant speed if the coefficient of kinetic frictionbetween the rod and rails is 0.100?
From the textbook chapter Multiple Choice Questions you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
