Question 16

A laboratory current balance is used to measure the magnetic force acting on a straight segment of wire of length 8.0 cm carrying a current of 3.5 A. The wire is suspended in a uniform magnetic field at an angle of 30∘ 30^\circ\,30∘ to the field lines. The magnetic force on this wire segment is measured to be 7.7 × 10-2 N.

A student calculates the magnetic flux density B B\,B from these measurements and records the results in a database.

Which row in the table below shows the correct table heading for B B\,B and the correct value for BBB?
