Problem

A straight conductor 25 cm long carries a current of 12 A. It passes through the pole pieces of a magnet such that only 15 cm of it is within a uniform magnetic field of 0.40 T. The conductor is perpendicular to the magnetic field. Calculate the magnitude of the magnetic force acting on it.
