Answer

$F=(-2.50mN)j^{\wedge}+(0.750mN)k^{\wedge}$

Work Step by Step

$F=IL\times B$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $F=(0.500A) (0.500i^{\wedge}\times(0.003Tj^{\wedge}+0.010Tk^{\wedge}))$ We know that $i^{\wedge}\times j^{\wedge}=k^{\wedge}$ and $i^{\wedge}\times k^{\wedge}=-j^{\wedge}$ So, $F=(0.500)(0.0015k^{\wedge}+0.005(-j^{\wedge}))$ $F=0.00075k^{\wedge}-0.0025j^{\wedge}$ $F=(-2.50mN)j^{\wedge}+(0.750mN)k^{\wedge}$
