Homework Statement
A segment of wire carries a current of 15 A
along the x-axis from x = −6 m to x = 0 and
then along the z axis from z = 0 to z = 4.7 m.
In this region of space, the magnetic field is
equal to 78 mT in the positive z direction.
What is the magnitude of the force on this
segment of wire? Answer in units of N.
Homework Equations
F= i*l*B
The Attempt at a Solution
what i did is that i found F on the x-axis and i found F on the z-axis .. then i squared both of them and took the root as the final answer which is wrong
where is my mistake
