SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the magnetic force of a right triangle influenced by a line when the magnetic field is not constant, specifically using the equation B = μ0 * I / (2πR). Participants explore the application of the force equation F = iLB for the bottom side of the triangle and seek methods to compute the magnetic fields for the other two sides. Integral calculus is suggested as a necessary tool to connect the variables R and L, with the possibility of using the midpoint of the sides to simplify calculations, contingent on the assumption of a linear variation of the magnetic field.
