$A$ 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
    $i B_0 (2R) \hat{j}$

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:

$A$ long straight wire carrying a current of $25 \ A$ rests on a table as shown in the figure. Another wire $PQ$ of length $1 \ m$ and mass $2.5 \ g$ carries the same current but in the opposite direction. The wire $PQ$ is free to slide up and down. To what height $h$ will $PQ$ rise?
