A wire carrying current I is tied between points P and Q and is in the shape of a circular arc of radius R due to a uniform magnetic field B (perpendicular to the plane of the paper, as shown in the figure) in the vicinity of the wire. If the wire subtends an angle 2 θ o at the center of the circle (of which it forms an arch) then the tension in the wire is:

Options

  1. AI B R
  2. BI B R s i n θ 0
  3. CI B R 2 s i n θ 0
  4. DI B R θ 0 s i n θ 0

Correct answer

A. I B R

Step-by-step solution

Consider any small element dl of arc of angle d θ . Then magnetic force d F = I d l . B outwards For equilibrium of element Idl B = 2 T sin dθ 2 For small angle sinθ ≃ θ I d l B = 2 T d θ 2 Idl B = T dl R T = I B R
