A rigid wire consists of a semicircular portion of radius R and two straight sections. The wire is partially immerged in a perpendicular magnetic field B = B 0 j ^ as shown in figure. The magnetic force on the wire if it has a current i is :
Options
- A- i B R j ^
- B2 i B R j ^
- Ci B R j ^
- D- 2 i B R j ^
Correct answer
D. - 2 i B R j ^
Step-by-step solution
Direction of magnetic field is in + k ^ Force acting on wire is given by, F → = i l → × B → As, l = 2 R , we get ⇒ F → = - 2 i R B j ^
