    The new current in the straight wire is 4.98 A

    Explanation:

    Given;

    initial magnetic force on the wire, F₁ = 0.017 N

    initial current flowing on the straight wire, I₁ = 1.1 A

    When the current in the wire is changed,

    new magnetic force on the wire, F₂ = 0.077 N

    the new current in the wire, I₂ = ?

    Applying equation of magnetic force on conductor;

    F₁ = I₁BLsinθ

    F₂ = I₂BLsinθ

    BLsinθ = F₁/I₁ = F₂/I₂

    I₂ = (F₂I₁) / F₁

    I₂ = (0.077 x 1.1) / 0.017

    I₂ = 4.98 A

    Therefore, the new current in the straight wire is 4.98 A
