Magnetic Fields AP Physics

A wire carries a current, creating a magnetic field around itself as shown. The current in the wire is:

• Directed to the right

• Directed to the left

• Equal to the magnetic field

• In the same direction as the magnetic field

Are the magnetic field lines in the picture correct?

• Yes, because they point from north to south.

• No, because they point from north to south (they're supposed to go the other way).

• Yes, because the North pole is on the left in all pictures.

• No, because the North pole is on the left in all pictures (it's supposed to be on the right).

The strongest part of a magnet is...

• the bars .

• the force field.

• the poles.

• the middle.

A straight wire carrying a 9.0 A current is in a uniform magnetic field oriented at right angles to the wire. When 75 cm of wire is in the field, the force on the wire is 1.2 N. What is the strength of the magnetic field (B)? HINT: F=I.L.B

• = 0.18 N
• = 0.18 T
• = 0.18 Cm
• = 0.18
