A wire, of length L = 3.8 mm, on a circuit board carries a current of I = 2.54 μA in the j direction. A nearby circuit element generates a magnetic field in the vicinity of the wire of B = Bxi + Byj + Bzk, where Bx = 6.9 G, By = 2.6 G, and Bz = 1.1 G. A) Calculate the i component of the magnetic force Fx, in newtons, exerted on the wire by the magnetic field due to the circuit element.

B) Calculate the k component of the magnetic force Fz, in newtons, exerted on the wire by the magnetic field due to the circuit element.

C) Calculate the magnitude of the magnetic force F, in newtons, exerted on the wire by the magnetic field due to the circuit element.
