A part of a conductor 1 cm long is in a uniform magnetic field with an induction of 5 T.
A part of a conductor 1 cm long is in a uniform magnetic field with an induction of 5 T. What force acts on a conductor if a current of 1 A flows through it? The conductor is located in a vacuum perpendicular to the lines of force of the magnetic field.
L = 1 cm = 0.01 m.
I = 1 A.
B = 5 T.
∠α = 90 °.
Fump -?
A conductor of length L in a magnetic field with induction B, through which an electric current with a current strength I flows, is acted upon by the Ampere force Famp, the value of which is determined by the formula: Famp = I * L * B * sinα, where ∠α is the angle between the direction of the current in conductor and the vector of magnetic induction.
Famp = 1 A * 0.01 m * 5 T * sin90 ° = 0.05 N.
Answer: Ampere force Famp = 0.05 N. acts on the conductor.
