Answer:

(d) 2.93 x 10⁻³ N

Explanation:

Given;

current in the wire, I = 11.4 A

angle of inclination, θ = 11.4⁰

magnetic field on the wire, B = 11. 4  x 10⁻³

length of the wire, L = 11.4 cm = 0.114 m

The magnitude of magnetic force on the wire is given by;

F = BILsinθ

F = (11.4 x 10⁻³)(11.4)(0.114)(sin 11.4°)

F = 0.00293 N

F = 2.93 x 10⁻³ N

Therefore, the correct option is "D"
