The horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field at a certain place is $3 \times 10^{-5} \, T$ and the direction of the field is from geographic south to geographic north. $A$ very long straight conductor is carrying a steady current of $1 \, A$. Calculate the force per unit length on it if the direction of the current is from east to west (in $N/m$).

  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $3 \times 10^{-5}$
  • C
    $1.5 \times 10^{-5}$
  • D
    None of these
