Answer:
Current, 7.29 A
Explanation:
It is given that,
Length of the horizontal rod, L = 0.3 m
Magnetic field through a horizontal rod, [tex]B=6.4\times 10^{-2}\ T[/tex]
The magnetic force acting on the rod, F = 0.14 N
Let the current flowing through the rod is given by I. The magnetic force acting on an object in the uniform magnetic field is given by :
[tex]F=ILB\ sin\theta[/tex]
Here, [tex]\theta=90^{\circ}[/tex]
[tex]F=ILB[/tex]
[tex]I=\dfrac{F}{LB}[/tex]
[tex]I=\dfrac{0.14\ N}{0.3\ m\times 6.4\times 10^{-2}\ T}[/tex]
I = 7.29 A
So, the current flowing through the rod 7.29 A.
