Question

A 23.82 m-long straight wire is carrying a current of 51 A which flows right and perpendicular to a magnet of constant field that is 23 pN. A 62-pN magnetic force acts on a conductor directed downwards. 

a. Calculate the magnitude and identify the direction of the magnetic region through which the current flows.

b. If the angle between the current and magnetic field is changed to 23 pN, what is the new magnitude of the magnetic force?
