Two parallel wires in free space are $10 \,cm$ apart and each carries a current of $10 \,A$ in the same direction. The force exerted by one wire on the other [per unit length] is

  • A
    $2 \times 10^{-4} \,N/m$ [attractive]
  • B
    $2 \times 10^{-7} \,N/m$ [attractive]
  • C
    $2 \times 10^{-4} \,N/m$ [repulsive]
  • D
    $2 \times 10^{-7} \,N/m$ [repulsive]

$A$ massless square loop of wire of resistance $R$ supporting a mass $M$ hangs vertically with one of its sides in a uniform magnetic field $B$ directed outwards in the shaded region. $A$ d.c. voltage $V$ is applied to the loop. For what value of $V$ will the magnetic force exactly balance the weight of the supporting mass $M$? (side of loop $= L, g =$ acceleration due to gravity)

The magnetic field existing in a region is given by $\vec B = B_0 [1 + \frac{x}{l}] \hat k$. $A$ square loop of edge $l$ carrying current $I_0$ is placed with its edges parallel to the $x-y$ axes. Find the magnitude of the net magnetic force experienced by the loop.

View Solution

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 :
