The magnetic field declination at your location is 11.0 degrees east of north and the inclination is 47.0 degrees. If the magnitude of the Earth's magnetic field is 0.0600 mT at your location, how much current must flow in a long vertical wire placed 1.00 cm from the compass in order to make the compass point in the direction of geographic north? (Ignore the size of the compass compared to its distance from the wire and assume the compass is in a uniform magnetic field given by the value of the field 1.00 cm from the wire.) amperes.

An arbitrarily curved wire that carries a current between two endpoints in the presence of a uniform magnetic field will experience the same net magnetic force as a straight wire carrying the same current between the same endpoints. Essentially, any forces experienced by parts of the wire that curve or twist away from the straight-line path are canceled out by forces on sections that curve back toward the original path. Furthermore, if the wire forms a closed loop in between the endpoints, the net force on the closed loop is zero. Using this result, consider a town where the Earth's magnetic field has a magnitude of 51.3 μT. The magnetic field vector lies in a vertical plane defined by the north-south and up-down axes, and it points 60.0∘ below the northward direction. In this town, a storefront window lies along the north-south vertical plane, and in the window is a neon sign (which is a thin current-carrying discharge tube). The sign carries a 35.1 mA current, starting from the lower south corner of the window, and ending at the opposite corner, which is 1.32 m to the north and 0.850 m upward. The sign spells out the word "BURGERS" between the two points. What is the net vector magnetic force (in μN ) on the neon sign? (Take east to be the +x-axis, up to be the +y-axis, and south to be the +z-axis. Do not include units in your answer.) F→B = μN

Assume the magnetic field declination at your location is 22 degrees east of north. How should you orient a current carrying wire near a compass so that the compass will point directly toward geographic north, assuming the wire produces a field strong enough to deflect the compass? The wire should be horizontal and placed north of the compass. The wire should be horizontal and placed east of the compass. The wire should be vertical and placed north of the compass The wire should be horizontal and placed west of the compass.
