What is the magnitude of force on a wire...

What is the magnitude of force on a wire of length `0*04m` placed inside a solenoid near its centre, making an angle of `30^@` with its axis? The wire carries a current of `12A` and the magnetic field due to the solenoid is of magnitude `0*25T`.

The correct Answer is:
To find the magnitude of the force on a wire placed inside a solenoid, we can use the formula for the magnetic force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field: \[ F = I \cdot L \cdot B \cdot \sin(\theta) \] Where: - \( F \) is the force on the wire (in Newtons), - \( I \) is the current through the wire (in Amperes), - \( L \) is the length of the wire (in meters), - \( B \) is the magnetic field strength (in Teslas), - \( \theta \) is the angle between the wire and the magnetic field (in degrees). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values:** - Length of the wire, \( L = 0.04 \, \text{m} \) - Current through the wire, \( I = 12 \, \text{A} \) - Magnetic field strength, \( B = 0.25 \, \text{T} \) - Angle with the axis, \( \theta = 30^\circ \) 2. **Convert the Angle to Radians (if necessary):** - In this case, we can use the sine of the angle directly in degrees. 3. **Calculate \( \sin(\theta) \):** - \( \sin(30^\circ) = 0.5 \) 4. **Substitute the Values into the Formula:** \[ F = I \cdot L \cdot B \cdot \sin(\theta) \] \[ F = 12 \, \text{A} \cdot 0.04 \, \text{m} \cdot 0.25 \, \text{T} \cdot 0.5 \] 5. **Perform the Calculation:** \[ F = 12 \cdot 0.04 \cdot 0.25 \cdot 0.5 \] \[ F = 12 \cdot 0.01 = 0.12 \, \text{N} \] ### Final Answer: The magnitude of the force on the wire is \( 0.12 \, \text{N} \).
