Homework Statement
What magnetic field strength will levitate the 2.0 g wire in the figure?
Homework Equations
F = ILB
The Attempt at a Solution
Solving for B, the formula becomes:
B = F/(IL)
F = 2*9.8 = 19.6
IL = (1.5)*(0.10) = 0.15
B= 19.6/0.015 = 130.666666666...
which comes out as incorrect
what am i doing wrong?
thanks!
