Question

A wire experiences a maximum force of 6.9 × 10-2 N when placed between the poles of
horseshoe magnet. The magnetic field is 0.22 T is vertically uniform. The wire is observed to
move toward the observer when the current flows horizontally to the right.
(a) What is the direction of magnetic field?
(b) What is the type of the top pole?
(c) Estimate the magnitude of the current, if the pole faces have a diameter of 8 cm
