1 Name Period AP Physics Electricity and Magnetism #6 Magnetism #2 Dr. Campbell 1. A 1.5 m length of wire carrying 4.5 A of current is oriented horizontally. At that point on the Earth s surface, the dip angle of the Earth s magnetic field makes and angle of 38 to the wire. Estimate the magnitude of the magnetic force on the wire due to the Earths magnetic field of 5.5 x 10-5 T at this point. 2.3 x 10-4 N 2. A long straight wire carries current I out of the page toward you. Indicate, with appropriate arrows, the direction of B at each of the points, C, D, and E in the plane of the page. C I D E 1
