In the figure, a 32 cm length of conducting wire that is free to move is held in place
between two thin conducting wires. All of the
wires are in a magnetic field. When a 6.0 A
current is in the wire, as shown in the figure,
the wire segment moves upward at a constant
velocity.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s?.
a) Assuming the wire slides without friction
on the two vertical conductors and has a mass
of 0.13 kg, find the magnitude of the minimum
magnetic field that is required to move the
wire.
Answer in units of T. b) What is the direction?
