### Magnetic Field and Current-Carrying Wire#### Problem StatementIn the figure to the right, a long straight current-carrying wire of linear mass density \( \mu \) is suspended by threads. A magnetic field perpendicular to the wire exerts a horizontal force that deflects the wire to an equilibrium angle \( \theta \). Find an expression for the strength and direction of the magnetic field \( \mathbf{B} \).#### Diagram ExplanationThe accompanying diagram illustrates a wire suspended by threads, with current \( I \) flowing through it. The wire is deflected at an angle \( \theta \) due to the force exerted by the magnetic field. The forces acting on the wire are depicted as follows:- A horizontal force \( \mathbf{F} \) exerted by the magnetic field.- The tension in the thread holding the wire.- The weight of the wire acting downwards.#### Solution OutlineTo find the magnetic field strength \( \mathbf{B} \), we will use the following known physical relationships and principles, involving magnetic force, tension, weight, and equilibrium of forces. The equilibrium condition will help us formulate the expression for \( \mathbf{B} \).
