A wire carrying a current II along the positive x-axis has length LL. It is kept in a magnetic field \overset{\to}{B} = \left(2\overset{^}{i} + 3\overset{^}{j} - 4\overset{^}{k}\right)T. The magnitude of the magnetic force acting on the wire is:

Options

  1. A3IL\sqrt{3}IL
  2. B3IL3IL
  3. C5IL\sqrt{5}IL
  4. D5IL5IL

Correct answer

D. 5IL5IL

Step-by-step solution

The formula to calculate the magnetic force acting on the wire is given by

F→=IL→×B→...(1)\overset{\to}{F} = I\overset{\to}{L} \times \overset{\to}{B} . . . \left(1\right)

As the length of the wire is along positive x-axis, it can be written that

\overset{\to}{L} = L\overset{^}{i} . . . \left(2\right)

Substitute the expressions of the required parameters into equation (2) to obtain the force.

\begin{cases}\overset{\to}{F} & = & IL\overset{^}{i} \times \left(2\overset{^}{i} + 3\overset{^}{j} - 4\overset{^}{k}\right) \\ = & 3IL\overset{^}{k} + 4IL\overset{^}{j} . . . \left(3\right)\end{cases}

Hence, the magnitude of the force can be written as

{F=(3IL)2+(4IL)2=5IL\begin{cases}F & = & \sqrt{{\left(3IL\right)}^{2} + {\left(4IL\right)}^{2}} \\ = & 5IL\end{cases}
