Physics

A stiff wire 44.5 cm long is bent at a right angle in themiddle. One section lies along the z axis and the other is alongthe line y=2x in the xy plane. A current of 24.0 A flows in thewire-down the z axis and out the line in the xy plane. The wirepasses through a uniform magnetic field given by B =(0.318i)T.

A) Determine the magnitude and direction of the total force onthe wire. (The direction must be theta below the negativey-axis).
