Please find the image uploaded for the diagram.

Answer:

The magnitude of the current is 6 A, in the direction of Q to P.

Explanation:

Given;

length of the wire, l = 0.25 m

magnetic field strength, B = 40 mT = 0.04 T

Magnitude of the magnetic force, F = 60 mN = 0.06 N

The magnitude of the current in the conductor is given as;

F = BIL

Where;

I is the current induced in the conductor

I = F / BL

I = (0.06) / (0.04 x 0.25)

I = 6 A

Th current will move in direction of Q to P
