Vedclass · Answer

(C) The magnetic force on a current-carrying wire is given by $\vec{F} = I(\vec{L} 	imes \vec{B})$.Given:Length of each side $L = 100 \,cm = 1 \,m$Current $I = 2 \,A$Magnetic field $B = 2.0 \,T$The magnitude of the force on each side is $F = I L B \sin(	heta)$.Since the wire is in the plane of the paper and the magnetic field is perpendicular to the plane,the angle $	heta$ between the length vector and the magnetic field is $90^\circ$.Therefore,$F = 2 \,A 	imes 1 \,m 	imes 2.0 \,T 	imes \sin(90^\circ) = 4 \,N$.Using Fleming's Left-Hand Rule,the direction of the force on each side is perpendicular to the side and directed towards the centre of the triangle.

In the given diagram, the loop tends to:

$A$ square loop $ABCD$ of side length $L$,carrying a current $i$,is placed near and coplanar with a long straight conductor $XY$ carrying a current $I$. The distance between the conductor and the side $AB$ is $L/2$. The net force on the loop will be:

An infinitely long,straight conductor $AB$ is fixed and a current $i_1$ is passed through it. Another movable straight wire $CD$ of finite length carrying current $i_2$ is held perpendicular to it and released. Neglect the weight of the wire.
