The correct Answer is:
To find the angle between the magnetic field and the direction of the current, we can use the formula for the magnetic force acting on a current-carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field. The formula is given by: \[ F = I \cdot L \cdot B \cdot \sin(\theta) \] Where: - \( F \) = force acting on the wire (in Newtons) - \( I \) = current flowing through the wire (in Amperes) - \( L \) = length of the wire (in meters) - \( B \) = magnetic field strength (in Tesla) - \( \theta \) = angle between the current direction and the magnetic field direction ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values:** - Current, \( I = 5 \, \text{A} \) - Length of the wire, \( L = 1.5 \, \text{m} \) - Force, \( F = 7.5 \, \text{N} \) - Magnetic field strength, \( B = 2 \, \text{T} \) 2. **Substitute the values into the formula:** \[ 7.5 = 5 \cdot 1.5 \cdot 2 \cdot \sin(\theta) \] 3. **Calculate the product on the right side:** \[ 5 \cdot 1.5 = 7.5 \] \[ 7.5 \cdot 2 = 15 \] So, we have: \[ 7.5 = 15 \cdot \sin(\theta) \] 4. **Rearranging the equation to solve for \( \sin(\theta) \):** \[ \sin(\theta) = \frac{7.5}{15} \] \[ \sin(\theta) = 0.5 \] 5. **Finding the angle \( \theta \):** The angle whose sine is \( 0.5 \) is: \[ \theta = 30^\circ \] ### Final Answer: The angle between the magnetic field and the direction of the current is \( 30^\circ \).
