Question

A current is carried by a straight conductor in a16 magnetic field of 1.4 T. The conductor is perpendicular to the magnetic field. The conductor is 2.3 m long, and the magnetic field exerts a 1.8 N force on it. A (a) Calculate the current in the conductor. (b) What is the angle between the conductor and the magnetic field when the magnetic force is at maximum? Explain your reasoning.
