the wire is 5.20 cm from the charge and carries a current of 68.5 A in a direction opposite to that of the moving charge. Calculate the magnitude of the force on the charge.

Complete Question

A 6.00-µc charge is moving with a speed of 7.50x10^4 m/s parallel to a very long, straight wire. the wire is 5.20 cm from the charge and carries a current of 68.5 A in a direction opposite to that of the moving charge. Calculate the magnitude of the force on the charge.

The value is

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The magnitude of the charge is  

      The speed is  

      The distance of the wire from the charge is  

       The current flowing through the wire in the opposite direction to the charge  is  

  Gnerally the magnitude of force on that charge is mathematically represented as

Here B is magnetic field which is mathematically represented as

Here   is the permeability of free space with value  

 So

=>          

=>    

when it gains or loses electrons

pe = weightxheight = 2000x1000=2,000,000joules
