In an experiment,setup $A$ consists of two parallel wires which carry currents in opposite directions as shown in the figure. $A$ second setup $B$ is identical to setup $A$,except that there is a metal plate between the wires. Let $F_A$ and $F_B$ be the magnitude of the force between the two wires in setup $A$ and setup $B$,respectively.

$A$ uniform conducting wire $ABC$ has a mass of $10 \, g$. $A$ current of $2 \, A$ flows through it. The wire is kept in a uniform magnetic field $B = 2 \, T$. The acceleration of the wire will be ............. $m \, s^{-2}$.

The force acting per unit length on a very long straight conductor carrying a steady current of $1 \,A$ flowing from south to north is: (The horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field at the place is $3 \times 10^{-5} \,T$ and its direction is from geographical south to geographical north.)

Three straight parallel current-carrying conductors are shown in the figure. The force experienced by the middle conductor of length $25\, cm$ is

As shown in the figure, a metallic rod of linear density $0.45\,kg\,m^{-1}$ is lying horizontally on a smooth inclined plane which makes an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The minimum current flowing in the rod required to keep it stationary, when a $0.15\,T$ magnetic field is acting on it in the vertical upward direction, will be $....A$ $\{$Use $g=10\,m/s^2\}$
