question 13

Multiple Choice

A 0.0150-m wire oriented horizontally between the poles of an electromagnet carries a direct current of 9.5 A. The angle between the direction of the current and that of the magnetic field is 25.0° as shown. If the magnetic field strength is 0.845 T, what is the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force on the wire between the poles?

• A)1.17 N, upward
• B)0.330 N, downward
• C)0.0509 N, upward
• D)0.120 N, downward
• E)0.495 N, upward
