A conductor of length

0.20\,\text{m}

carries a current of

5.0\,\text{A}

in a region where the magnetic field strength is

0.60\,\text{T}

. The conductor makes an angle of

30^\circ

with the magnetic field. Calculate the magnitude of the force acting on the conductor. (a)

0.60\,\text{N}

(b)

0.52\,\text{N}

(c)

0.30\,\text{N}

(d)

0.15\,\text{N}
