Question

A wire of length 2.5 m carrying a current of 1.3 A is inclined at an angle theta to a magnetic field of 0.4 T. If the force on the wire is 0.92 N, calculate theta.
Options
A = F/(BIL) = 0.92/1.3 = 0.7077, theta=45 degrees.
B 30 degrees
C 45 degrees
Correct Answer
D 55 degrees
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

sin(theta) = F/(BIL) = 0.92/1.3 = 0.7077, theta=45 degrees.

Hint

sin(theta) = F/(BIL) = 0.92/1.3 = 0.7077, theta=45 degrees.
