Question
A horizontal power line of length 58.0 m carries a current of 2.20 kA northward as shown in Figure P29.41. The Earths magnetic field at this location has a magnitude of 5.00 3 1025 T. The field at this location is directed toward the north at an angle 65.08 below the power line. Find (a)the magnitude and (b) the direction of the magnetic force on the power line.
Solution
The first step in solving 29 problem number 41 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A horizontal power line of length 58.0 m carries a current of 2.20 kA northward as shown in Figure P29.41. The Earths magnetic field at this location has a magnitude of 5.00 3 1025 T. The field at this location is directed toward the north at an angle 65.08 below the power line. Find (a)the magnitude and (b) the direction of the magnetic force on the power line.
From the textbook chapter Magnetic Fields you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
