At a certain location, Earth has a magnetic field of 0.60 x 10T, pointing 75 below the hortzontal in a north-south plane. A 13.2 m long straight wire carries a 10 A current. (a) If the current is directed horizontally toward the east, what are the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force on the wire? magnitude 205e-3 direction 15 above the horizontal in the northward direction (b) What are the magnitude and direction of the force if the current is directed vertically upward? magnitude 2.05e-3 direction 15" above the horzontal in the northward direction X
