A straight wire AB of mass 40 g and length 50 cm is suspended by a pair of flexible leads in uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0 . 40 T as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the current required in the wire to remove the tension in the supporting leads is _____ A . (Take g = 10 m s - 2 .
Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
The formula to calculate the magnetic force on the conductor is given by F B =   I L B       . . . 1 The formula to calculate the gravitational force on the conductor is given by F G =   m g       . . . 2 Equate both the equations and simplify to obtain the required current through the conductor. I L B = m g ⇒ I =   m g L B       . . . 3 Substitute the values of the known parameters into equation (3) to calculate the required current through the cond
