$A$ conducting bar $PQ$ of length $l$ carrying current $I$ is suspended from a rigid support as shown in the figure. $A$ uniform magnetic field $B$ perpendicular to $PQ$ and directed away from the reader (into the plane) is applied. If the mass of the bar is $M$,find the tension in each string.

  • A
    $Mg/2$
  • B
    $(Mg + IBl)/2$
  • C
    $(Mg - IBl)/2$
  • D

Suppose an isolated north pole is kept at the centre of a circular loop carrying an electric current $i$. The magnetic field due to the north pole at a point on the periphery of the wire is $B$. The radius of the loop is $a$. The force on the wire is

$A$ straight rod of mass $m$ and length $L$ is suspended from two identical springs as shown in the figure. The springs are stretched by a distance of $x_0$ due to the weight of the rod. The circuit has a total resistance $R$. When a magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of the paper is switched on,the springs are observed to extend further by the same distance $x_0$. The magnetic field strength is:
