Chapter 36, Problem 36A
When a current-carrying wire is placed in a strong magnetic field, no force acts on the wire. What orientation of the wire is likely?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
To Explain: the orientation of the wire if a current-carrying wire is placed in a strong magnetic field and no force acts on the wire.
Answer to Problem 36A
The wire is oriented parallel to the magnetic field.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The magnetic field is a term that is used to describe the distribution of force in the space or within a magnet.
Explanation:
It is aninteresting phenomenon in which the currentproduces a magnetic field. The force on a wire carrying current placed in a strong magnetic field is zero when it is parallel to the magnetic field.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the orientation of the wire is parallel and no force act on it.
