Assume that in Atlanta, Georgia, the Earth’s magnetic field is 52.0 μT northward at 60.0° below the horizontal. A tube in a neon sign carries current 35.0 mA, between two diagonally opposite corners of a shop window, which lies in a north–south vertical plane. The current enters the tube at the bottom south corner of the window. It exits at the opposite corner, which is 1.40m farther north and 0.850 m higher up. Between these two points, the glowing tube spells out DONUTS. Use the theorem proved as Case 1 in the text to determine the total vector magnetic force on the tube.

Question

Assume that in Atlanta, Georgia, the Earth’s magnetic field is 52.0 μT northward at 60.0° below the horizontal. A tube in a neon sign carries current 35.0 mA, between two diagonally opposite corners of a shop window, which lies in a north–south vertical plane. The current enters the tube at the bottom south corner of the window. It exits at the opposite corner, which is 1.40m farther north and 0.850 m higher up. Between these two points, the glowing tube spells out DONUTS. Use the theorem proved as Case 1 in the text to determine the total vector magnetic force on the tube.
