Force on a Current-Carrying Conductor
 

Force on a Current-Carrying Conductor problem 17


A 10 cm long horizontal rod, which is tied to a thin thread, swings in a homogeneous magnetic field with a density of 0.4 T as shown in the figure below. Calculate the angle and direction of deflection of the rod if a current of 8 A is passed through it and its mass is 26 g.
