Question 18

A straight, horizontal copper wire of length 75 mm is positioned perpendicular to a uniform horizontal magnetic field inside a calibration balance. When the electric current in the wire is decreased by 2.4 A, the magnetic force acting on the wire decreases by 1.17 × 10-2 N.

What is the magnetic flux density of the field?

A

6.5×10−5 T6.5 \times 10^{-5}\text{ T}6.5×10−5 T

B

3.7×10−4 T3.7 \times 10^{-4}\text{ T}3.7×10−4 T

C

6.5×10−2 T6.5 \times 10^{-2}\text{ T}6.5×10−2 T

D
