Correct answer: 0

Horizontal component of magnetic field, B H = 3 . 5 × 10 - 5 T Force acting on wire, F = i l B sin θ , where i = 2 A Therefore, F l = i B sin θ = 2 × 3 . 5 × 10 - 5 × 1 2 = 35 × 10 - 6 N m - 1

The horizontal component of earth's magnetic field at a place is 3 . 5 × 10 - 5 T . A very long straight conductor carrying current of 2 A in the direction from South east to North West is placed. The force per unit length experienced by the conductor is ________ × 10 - 6 N m - 1 .
