A horizontal wire of length 0.45 m, carrying a current of 5.7 A to the right, is placed in a uniform external magnetic field. When the wire is horizontal, it experiences no magnetic force. When the wire is tilted counterclockwise at an angle of 28.9°, it experiences a magnetic force of 12.7 N. Determine the magnitude of the external magnetic field.

Expert Solution

Step 1: Given data

Length of wire is $L equals 0.45 space straight m$

Current is $I equals 5.7 space straight A$

Magnetic force is $F equals 12.7 space straight N$

Angle between magnetic force and length of wire is $theta equals 28.9 to the power of degree$

Find:

The magnitude of magnetic field.
