Answer:
Yes we are right as the force on wire is approx 12500 Lb
Explanation:
Magnetic force on a current carrying bar is given by the equation
[tex]\vec F = i(\vec L \times \vec B)[/tex]
here we know that
L = 1.3 m
B = 12 T
[tex]\theta = 60^0[/tex]
i = 4.1 kA
now from above formula we have
[tex]F = iLBsin60[/tex]
[tex]F = (4.1\times 10^3)(1.3 )(12)sin60[/tex]
[tex]F = 55391 N[/tex]
So this is equivalent to 12500 Lb force
