$A$ conductor $ABCDE$,shaped as shown,carries a current $i$. It is placed in the $xy$ plane with the ends $A$ and $E$ on the $x$-axis. $A$ uniform magnetic field of magnitude $B$ exists in the region. The force acting on it will be

  • A
    zero,if $B$ is in the $x$-direction
  • B
    $\lambda Bi$ in the $z$-direction,if $B$ is in the $y$-direction
  • C
    $\lambda Bi$ in the negative $y$-direction,if $B$ is in the $z$-direction
  • D
    All of the above

The net charge in a current-carrying wire is zero,yet a magnetic field exerts a force on it. This is because a magnetic field exerts a force on:

The force exerted by a magnetic field on a wire having length $L$ and current $I$ is perpendicular to the wire and given as $|F| = IL|B|$. An experimental plot shows $|F|$ as a function of $L$. The plot is a straight line with a slope $S = (10 \pm 1) \times 10^{-5} \ T$. The current in the wire is $I = (15 \pm 1) \ mA$. The percentage error in $B$ is:

Two parallel conductors, each $50 \ m$ long, separated by $0.2 \ m$, experience a force of $1 \ N$. If the current in the first conductor is twice that of the second conductor, what is the current in the second conductor (in $A$)? (Given: $\mu_0 = 4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \ T \cdot m/A$)

$A$ straight wire carrying a current $i_1 \, A$ runs along the axis of a circular loop carrying a current $i_2 \, A$. The force of interaction between the two current-carrying conductors is

Two thin long parallel wires separated by a distance $b$ are carrying a current $i$ $A$ each. The magnitude of the force per unit length exerted by one wire on the other is
