4.5 What is the magnitude of magnetic force per unit length on a wire carrying a current of 8 A and making an angle of 30º with the direction of a uniform magnetic field of 0.15 T?

NEETprep Answer:
Current in the wire, I = 8 A
Magnitude of the uniform magnetic field, B = 0.15 T 
Angle between the wire and magnetic field, θ=30°
Magnetic force per unit length on the wire is given as:
f=BI sinθ=0.15×8×1×sin30°=0.6 N m-1
Hence, the magnetic force per unit length on the wire is 0.6 N m-1.
