Force on a current-carrying conductor — practice question

(a)[2]

Define the tesla in words.

(b(i))[2]

Determine the magnetic flux density $B$, giving your answer in mT.

(b(ii))[1]

State, with a reason, whether the change in the reading on the newton meter is an increase or a decrease.

(b(iii))[1]

The frame is lowered further, so the vertical sides begin to enter the magnetic field. Suggest what effect this has on the frame.
