# 5. What is the magnitude of magnetic force per unit length on a wire carrying a current of 8 A and making an angle of with the direction of a uniform magnetic field of 0.15 T?

The magnetic force on an infinitesimal current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field is given by  where the direction of vector dl is in the direction of flow of current.

For a straight wire of length l in a uniform magnetic field, the Force equals to

In the given case the magnitude of force per unit length is equal to

|F| = 0.158sin30o         (I=8A, B=0.15 T, =30o)

=0.6 Nm-1
