Force acting on conductor when placed in magnetic field from east to west horizontal component is 3.0 and current is 10A
To determine the force acting on a conductor when placed in a magnetic field, you can use the formula:
F = BIL
Where:
F is the force acting on the conductor
B is the magnetic field strength
I is the current flowing through the conductor
L is the length of the conductor within the magnetic field
In this case, the current flowing through the conductor is 10A, and the horizontal component of the magnetic field is given as 3.0.
To calculate the force, you need to know the length of the conductor within the magnetic field. If the length of the conductor is given, you can multiply it by the product of current and magnetic field strength to find the force.
For example, if the length of the conductor is 2 meters, the force can be calculated as:
F = (3.0 T) * (10 A) * (2 m)
F = 60 N
Therefore, the force acting on the conductor is 60 Newtons.
