Question

Problem 36P

A high-voltage power Une carries a current of 110 A at a location where the Earth’s magnetic field has a magnitude of 0.59 G and points to the north, 72° below the horizontal. Find the direction and magnitude of the magnetic force exerted on a 250-m length of wire if the current in the wire flows (a) horizontally toward the east or (b) horizontally toward the south.

Solution
