Magnetic Field Produced by Straight Currents
- Multiple ChoiceA wire near the equator carries a current perpendicular to the Earth's magnetic field of in a location where the field is parallel to the ground and points straight north. Assuming it was of correct magnitude, what direction should the current be in to levitate the wire?961views1rank

A long straight wire carries a current vertically upward. Four compasses are placed at equal distances around the wire: one to the north, one to the south, one to the east, and one to the west of the wire. Which compass will point its needle directly east due to the magnetic field produced by the current?

- Multiple ChoiceA wire near the equator carries a current perpendicular to the Earth's magnetic field of in a location where the field is parallel to the ground and points straight north. The wire has a mass per length of . What magnitude of current in the wire could balance it against the force of gravity? (This example is not very realistic. The mass per length given would be reasonable for a very thin wire which could not handle this large of a current for very long.)773views
