Chapter 20, Problem 8

(choose chapter or problem)

(II) Suppose a straight 1.00-mm-diameter copper wire could just "float" horizontally in air because of the force due to the Earth's magnetic field \(\overrightarrow{\mathbf{B}}\), which is horizontal, perpendicular to the wire, and of magnitude \(5.0 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~T}\). What current would the wire carry? Does the answer seem feasible? Explain briefly.
