A thin strip of the material being investigated is immersed in a magnetic field and oriented so that its surface is perpendicular to the field. In a particular measurement, the magnetic field strength was 0.735 T, the strip was 0.101 mm thick, the current along the strip was 2.95 A, and the Hall voltage between the strip's edges was 2.95 mV.

- The force on a wire is a maximum of 4.38 N when placed between the pole faces of a magnet. The current flows horizontally to the right and the magnetic field is vertical. The wire is observed to "jump" toward the observer when the current is turned on. If the pole faces have a diameter of 12.9 cm, estimate the current in the wire if the field is 0.184 T.
