  • B
    $2 \times 10^{-4}\,N$,repulsive
  • C

$A$ long wire $AB$ is placed on a table. Another wire $PQ$ of mass $1.0\, g$ and length $50\, cm$ is set to slide on two rails $PS$ and $QR$. $A$ current of $50\, A$ is passed through the wires. At what distance above $AB$ will the wire $PQ$ be in equilibrium? (in $mm$)

$A$ current of $5 \ A$ is flowing in a wire of length $1.5 \ m$. $A$ force of $7.5 \ N$ acts on it when it is placed in a uniform magnetic field of $2 \ T$. The angle between the magnetic field and the direction of the current is......$^o$

$A$ current-carrying wire $LN$ is bent as shown below. If the wire carries a current of $10 \, A$ and is placed in a magnetic field of $5 \, T$ which acts perpendicular to the paper outwards,then it will experience a force of ......... $N$.

$ABCD$ 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).

$A$ current of $10 \text{ A}$ flows through a horizontal straight wire $A$ with both ends rigidly fixed. Wire $B$ is placed directly above and parallel to $A$. The weight per unit length of wire $B$ is $40 \times 10^{-3} \text{ N/m}$ and it carries a current of $20 \text{ A}$. Find the distance of wire $B$ from wire $A$ so that wire $B$ remains at rest. Also,state the direction of current flowing through it.
