Question
A wire runs from point “a" (x = 2, y = 3, z = - 4) to point “b" (x = 10, y = 15, z = 12)
carrying a current of 10 amps in the direction from point "a" to point "b".
If the wire is immersed in a magnetic field of B = 2î - ĵ + 4k (µT) then what is the
force exerted on it by the magnetic field? (in µN)
a. 640î + 320k
b. - 640î + 320k
c. - 640î - 320k
d. 640î - 320k
e. I haven't got a clue – fail me !!!
