This diagram shows a current-carrying wire frame placed between a pair of magnets on a yoke. A pointer is attached to the wire.
A current of in the wire causes the pointer to move vertically upwards. A small paper tape is attached to the pointer and the current is adjusted until the weight of the paper tape causes the pointer to return to its initial position (with no current and no paper tape). The mass of the paper tape is The section of the wire between the poles of the magnetic has a length of .
(a) State the direction of the magnetic field.

This diagram shows a current-carrying wire frame placed between a pair of Magnadur magnets on a yoke. A pointer is attached to the wire.
A current of 8.5 A in the wire causes the pointer to move vertically upwards. A small paper tape is attached to the pointer and the current is adjusted until the weight of the paper tape causes the pointer to return to its initial position (with no current and no paper tape). The mass of the paper tape is The section of the wire between the poles of the magnetic has a length of .
(c) Calculate the magnetic flux density of the magnetic field between
the poles of the magnet.

This diagram shows a current-carrying wire frame placed between a pair of magnets on a yoke. A pointer is attached to the wire.
