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:

  • A
    Stationary charge
  • B
    Moving charge
  • C
    $A$ positive charge only
  • D
    $A$ negative charge only

What is the force per unit length between the two wires shown in the figure? [${\mu _0} = 4\pi \times {10^{ - 7}} \text{ T}\,m/A$]

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:

$A$ current of $10 \ A$ is flowing in two straight parallel wires in the same direction. The force of attraction between them is $1 \times 10^{-3} \ N$. If the current is doubled in both the wires,the force will be:
