Two long straight wires $P$ and $Q$ carrying equal current $10\,A$ each were kept parallel to each other at $5\,cm$ distance. Magnitude of magnetic force experienced by $10\,cm$ length of wire $P$ is $F_1$. If distance between wires is halved and currents on them are doubled,force $F_2$ on $10\,cm$ length of wire $P$ will be :

  • A
    $8 F_1$
  • B
    $10 F_1$
  • C
    $F_1 / 8$
  • D
    $F_1 / 10$

$ABCD$ 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).

The force on a current-carrying loop (radius $= R$) in a uniform magnetic field $(B)$,which is at an angle $30^{\circ}$ with the normal,will be:

$A$ uniform magnetic field of $1.5\; T$ exists in a cylindrical region of radius $10.0\; cm$,its direction parallel to the axis along east to west. $A$ wire carrying current of $7.0\; A$ in the north to south direction passes through this region. What is the magnitude and direction of the force on the wire if,
$(a)$ the wire intersects the axis,
$(b)$ the wire is turned from $N-S$ to northeast-northwest direction,
$(c)$ the wire in the $N-S$ direction is lowered from the axis by a distance of $6.0 \;cm?$

$A, B$ and $C$ are three parallel conductors of equal lengths carrying currents $I, I$ and $2I$ respectively. The distance between $A$ and $B$ is $x$ and that between $B$ and $C$ is also $x$. $F_1$ is the force exerted by conductor $B$ on $A$. $F_2$ is the force exerted by conductor $C$ on $A$. The current $I$ in $A$ and $I$ in $B$ are in the same direction,and the current $2I$ in $C$ is in the opposite direction. Then:

$A$ rectangular loop of sides $25 \text{ cm}$ and $10 \text{ cm}$ carrying a current of $10 \text{ A}$ is placed with its longer side parallel to a long straight conductor $10 \text{ cm}$ apart carrying a current of $25 \text{ A}$. The net force on the loop is
