Well, if I only had x and y values I would use the pythagoreom theorum(sp) to add the two, but I don't know how to add in the third z component. As for determining theta I'm thinking that it would be -tan y/x soo -tan .13/.10 = 52.4 degrees but what about the z axis? I'm so confused...

Homework Statement The x, y, and z components of a magnetic field are Bx = 0.10 T, By = 0.13 T, and Bz = 0.17 T. A 25 cm wire is oriented along the z axis and carries a current of 4.5 A. What is the magnitude of the magnetic force that acts on this wire? Homework Equations F=ILB (sin...
