Problem

A high-tension electricity wire running along a north–south line carries a current of 3000 A. The magnetic field of the earth at the position of the wire has a magnitude of 5.00×10−55.00 \times 10^{-5} T and makes an angle of 30∘30^\circ below the horizontal. Calculate the force experienced by a length of 30.0 m of the wire.
