A 0.7 mm diameter superconducting wire is composed of half copper and half superconductor. At 3.2 T it is capable of carrying 2110 Amps. Assume 4.5 cm of that wire slides perpendicularly to the magnetic field due to the Lorentz forces. How far, in meters, did the wire slide to generate 0.002 J heat, assuming all the frictional energy was converted to heat in the section of wire?
