A wire carrying a current is positioned in the – plane along the curve . A magnetic field is present in the -direction. Determine the magnitude of the magnetic force acting on the section of the wire between and .
Options
- A
- B
- CZero
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
The magnetic force on a current-carrying wire in a uniform magnetic field is given by .
Since the magnetic field is uniform, the total force depends only on the displacement vector between the initial and final points of the wire.
The initial point at is .
The final point at is .
The displacement vector is .
The magnetic force is .
The magnitude of the magnetic force is .
