A wire of length 2 m carries 3 A of current and is positioned in a uniform magnetic field of strength 0.25 T at an angle of 60 degrees. Calculate the force acting on the wire.
💡 Hint: Use the sine of 60 degrees in your calculation.
How would the force on the wire change if the angle of the magnetic field changed from 60 degrees to 90 degrees? Explain your reasoning.
💡 Hint: Consider how the sine function behaves with angles.
