A conductor that is in a magnetic field with induction B is acted upon by the Ampere force Famp, the value of which is determined by the formula: Famp = I * B * L * sinα, where I is the current in the conductor, L is the length of the conductor, ∠α is the angle between the direction of the current in the conductor and the vector of magnetic induction B.
Let us express the magnetic induction B by the formula: B = Famp / I * L * sinα.
B = 0.16 N / 4 A * 0.5 m * sin90 = 0.08 T.
Answer: the magnetic induction of the field in which the conductor is located is B = 0.08 T.
