Lorentz Force- Magnetic Force on a Current Carrying Wire (Fendt Applet)
F=BILsin I: current (conventional) angle between I and B
When =90o, then F=BIL
F
A wire 86cm long is carrying a current of 0.25A at right angles to a uniform magnetic field of 15T.
Find the magnitude of the magnetic force.
Answer: 3.3N
What is the direction of the magnetic force acting on this wire?
I
Answer: Upwards
