JEE Advanced2015PhysicsMagnetic Effects of CurrentActual
A Conductor (shown in the figure) carrying constant current I is kept in the x - y plane in a uniform magnetic field B → . If F is the magnitude of the total magnetic force acting on the conductor, then the correct statement(s) is (are)
Options
- AIf B → is along z ^ , F ∝ ( L + R )
- BIf B → is along x ^ , F = 0
- CIf B → is along y ^ , F ∝ ( L + R )
- DIf B → is along z ^ , F = 0
Correct answer
A. If B → is along z ^ , F ∝ ( L + R )
Step-by-step solution
F → = I D i s p l a c e m e n t → × B → As magnetic field is uniform F → = I 2 L + 2 R i ^ × B → When B → is along y or z axis F ∝ L + R When B → is along x -axis F = 0
