A current carrying wire is oriented along the y axis It passes through a region 0.45 m long in which there is a magnetic field of 6.1 T in the z direction The wire experiences a force of 15.1 N in the x direction.1. What is the magnitude of the conventional current inthe wire?I = A2. What is the direction of the conventional current in thewire?-y+y

The magnitude of the current in the wire is 5.5A, and the direction of the current is in the positive y direction.

Explanation:

- To find the direction of the conventional current in the wire you use the following formula:

      (1)

i: current in the wire = ?

F: magnitude of the magnetic force on the wire = 15.1N

B: magnitude of the magnetic field = 6.1T

l: length of the wire that is affected by the magnetic field = 0.45m

The direction of the magnetic force is in the x direction (+^i) and the direction of the magnetic field is in the +z direction (+^k).

The direction of the current must be in the +y direction (+^j). In fact, you have:

^j X ^k = ^i

The current and the magnetic field are perpendicular between them, then, you solve for i in the equation (1):

The magnitude of the current in the wire is 5.5A, and the direction of the current is in the positive y direction.

what experimental evidence led scientists to change from the previous model to this one?

a few of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back.

the colors of light emitted from heated atoms had very specific energies.

experiments with water vapor showed that elements combine in specific proportions.

cathode rays were bent in the same way whenever a magnet was brought near them.
