$A$ rigid wire consists of a semicircular portion of radius $R$ and two straight sections. The wire is partially immersed in a perpendicular magnetic field $B = B_0 \hat{k}$ as shown in the figure. The magnetic force on the wire if it carries a current $i$ is:

  • A
    $-i B_0 (2R) \hat{i}$
  • B
    $i B_0 (2R) \hat{i}$
  • C
    $-i B_0 (2R) \hat{j}$
  • D
    $i B_0 (2R) \hat{j}$

Two parallel,long wires are kept $0.20 \, m$ apart in a vacuum,each carrying a current of $x \, A$ in the same direction. If the force of attraction per meter of each wire is $2 \times 10^{-6} \, N$,then the value of $x$ is approximately:

$A$ wire carrying current $I$ is tied between points $P$ and $Q$ and is in the shape of a circular arc of radius $R$ due to a uniform magnetic field $B$ (perpendicular to the plane of the paper,shown by $\times \times \times $) in the vicinity of the wire. If the wire subtends an angle $2\theta_0$ at the centre of the circle (of which it forms an arc),then the tension in the wire is:
