Question 1

A straight copper wire is placed at right angles to a uniform magnetic field between two magnetic poles.

The wire is 0.250 m long within the field and carries a current of 75.0 mA.

The magnetic force exerted on the wire is 4.50 × 10-4 N.

Calculate the magnetic flux density of the magnetic field.

Use the equation:

F=B×I×l F = B \times I \times l F=B×I×l
