If the magnitude of the magnetic field is B what must the magnitude of this field be to cancel out the gravitational force on the wire?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Answer

Let 'm ' be the mass , L the length and I the current, then at equilibrium condition

Force dut the field = Force due to gravitation

ie BIL = mg

Therefore B = (mg) / ( IL)
