As shown in the figure, a wire is bent to form a $D$-shaped loop carrying current $I$, where the curved part is a semi-circle of radius $R$. The loop is placed in a uniform magnetic field $\overrightarrow{B}$, which is directed into the plane of the paper. The net magnetic force on the closed loop is:

  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $IRB$
  • C
    $2 IRB$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2} IRB$

Assertion $(A):$ $A$ wire is bent into an irregular shape with the points $P$ and $Q$ fixed. If a current $I$ is passed through the wire,then the area enclosed by the irregular portion of the wire increases.
Reason $(R):$ Wires carrying currents in opposite directions repel each other.

If a straight current-carrying wire of linear density $0.12 \ kg \ m^{-1}$ is suspended in mid-air by a uniform horizontal magnetic field of $0.5 \ T$ normal to the length of the wire,then the current through the wire is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$; Neglect earth's magnetic field) (in $A$)

$A$ rigid square loop of side $a$ carrying current $I_2$ is lying on a horizontal surface near a long wire carrying current $I_1$ in the same plane as shown in the figure. The net force on the loop due to the wire will be:

In the given figure,the magnetic force on the wire $ABC$ will be $(B = 2 \, T, I = 2 \, A)$.
