Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A current of 5 A flows through a wire placed in a magnetic field of 0.2 T. If the angle between the wire and the magnetic field is 90 degrees, calculate the force on a 2-meter length of the wire.
💡 Hint: Remember to input the known values cleverly into the formula.
A wire carrying a current is subjected to a magnetic field directed to the west. If the wire is oriented north, what direction will the force act if the current flows south?
💡 Hint: Draw it out if you must to visualize the interactions.
