If 9 A current is passing through a wire of length 1.5 m experiences a perpendicular magnetic force of 0.25 N, then the magnetic field is

Correct answer: A. 0.018 T

  • A. 0.018 T
  • B. 0.041 T
  • C. 0.194 T
  • D. 0.541 T

Explanation

To determine the magnetic field B, use the formula for the magnetic force on a current-carrying conductor: F = BIL. Rearrange the formula to solve for B, giving B = F/(IL). Substituting the given values: F = 0.25 N, I = 9 A, and L = 1.5 m, we find B = 0.25/(9 * 1.5) = 0.018 T. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.018 T. The other options are incorrect due to errors in calculation or misapplication of the formula.

About Magnetic Flux Density

Magnetic flux density measures the magnetic force acting on a current carrying conductor or moving charge in a magnetic field. Work includes the relations B equals F divided by IL and F equals qvB, the tesla as its SI unit, field direction and the distinction between flux density and magnetic flux.
