Answer:
Part a)
[tex]F = 0[/tex]
Part b)
[tex]F = 0.25 N[/tex]
Part c)
[tex]F = 0.25 N[/tex]
Part d)
Net force on a closed loop in uniform magnetic field is always ZERO
[tex]F_{net} = 0[/tex]
Explanation:
As we know that force on a current carrying wire is given as
[tex]\vec F = i(\vec L \times \vec B)[/tex]
now we have
Part a)
current in side 166 cm and magnetic field is parallel
so we have
[tex]F = i(\vec L \times \vec B)[/tex]
here we know that L and B is parallel to each other so
[tex]F = 0[/tex]
Part b)
For 68.1 cm length wire we have
[tex]F = iLB sin\theta[/tex]
here we know that
[tex]cos\theta = \frac{68.1}{166}[/tex]
[tex]\theta = 65.8[/tex]
so we have
[tex]F = (4.03)(0.681)(99.3 \times 10^{-3})sin65.8[/tex]
[tex]F = 0.25 N[/tex]
Part c)
For 151 cm length wire we have
[tex]F = iLB sin\phi[/tex]
here we know that
[tex]cos\phi = \frac{151}{166}[/tex]
[tex]\theta = 24.5[/tex]
so we have
[tex]F = (4.03)(1.51)(99.3 \times 10^{-3})sin24.5[/tex]
[tex]F = 0.25 N[/tex]
Part d)
Net force on a closed loop in uniform magnetic field is always ZERO
[tex]F_{net} = 0[/tex]
