Problem

A 0.50 m straight wire runs from the origin to the point (0.30 m, 0.40 m, 0) in space and carries a current of 6.0 A in that direction. A uniform magnetic field is given by B=0.60 T (4ȷ^+3k^)/5\mathbf{B}=0.60\,\text{T}\,(4\hat{\jmath}+3\hat{k})/5. What is the magnitude of the magnetic force on the wire? (a) 1.1 N1.1\text{ N} (b) 1.8 N1.8\text{ N} (c) 1.4 N1.4\text{ N} (d) 2.2 N2.2\text{ N}
