Problem

A uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.60 T0.60\,\text{T} fills a region of space. A straight 0.30 m0.30\,\text{m} wire within the region carries an 8.0 A8.0\,\text{A} current. For what angle between the wire and the magnetic field lines will the magnitude of the magnetic force on the wire be exactly 1.0 N1.0\,\text{N}? (a) 46∘46^{\circ} (b) 34∘34^{\circ} (c) 44∘44^{\circ} (d) 70∘70^{\circ}
