$ABCD$ is a rectangular loop made of uniform wire. If $AD = BC = 2 \text{ cm}$,what is the magnetic force per unit length acting on wire $DC$ due to wire $AB$ if the ammeter reads $20 \text{ A}$? (The lengths of $AB$ and $DC$ are large in comparison with the other two sides).

  • A
    $10^{-1} \text{ N m}^{-1}$
  • B
    $10^{-2} \text{ N m}^{-1}$
  • C
    $10^{-3} \text{ N m}^{-1}$
  • D
    $10^{-4} \text{ N m}^{-1}$

Two long wires carrying currents $I_1$ and $I_2$ are arranged as shown in the figure. The wire carrying current $I_1$ is along the $x$-axis. The other wire carrying current $I_2$ is parallel to the $y$-axis,passing through the point $(0, 0, d)$. Find the magnetic force exerted on a segment of length $dl$ of the second wire at the point $O_2(0, 0, d)$ due to the wire carrying current $I_1$.

If a wire of length $1\, m$ is placed in a uniform magnetic field of $1.5\, T$ at an angle of ${30^\circ}$ with the magnetic field,and the current in the wire is $10\, A$,then the force on the wire will be.......$N$. (in $.5$)

In the figure,the cube has an edge length of $40\,cm$. Four straight segments of wire $ab$,$bc$,$cd$,and $da$ form a closed loop that carries a current $I = 5\,A$. $A$ uniform magnetic field of $0.02\,T$ is in the $+y$-direction. The ratio of the magnetic force on segment $ab$ to the magnetic force on segment $bc$ is:

If the distance between two current-carrying parallel wires is made $\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^{rd}$ of its original value,then the magnitude of the force between them (the same current is passing through both wires) is:
