Calculate magnetic force on charged particles and conductors, determine its direction, and analyse charge motion, current-carrying wires and magnetic deflection.
In an experiment a student constructs the circuit shown in the diagram. The ammeter and the voltmeter are assumed to be ideal.
The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of the connecting wire in (c).
The wire which carries a current of 3.5 A into the page, is placed in a region of uniform magnetic field of flux density 0.25 T . The field is directed at right angles to the wire.
Determine the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force on one of the charge carriers in the wire.
