Solution

The force experienced by a wire carrying current in a magnetic field is given by the formula:

F = B * I * L

where: F is the force, B is the magnetic field strength, I is the current, and L is the length of the wire.

We can rearrange this formula to solve for the current:

I = F / (B * L)

Substituting the given values:

I = 0.6 N / (0.2 T * 1.0 m)

I = 3 A

So, the magnitude of the current through the wire is 3 A.
