NTA Abhyas JEE Main2020PhysicsMagnetic Effects of CurrentPractice
A finite carrying-current wire is placed in a plane along with a very long, straight conductor carrying current as shown in the figure. The torque on the finite current wire about point O is
Options
- A2 μ 0 π I 1 I 2 l
- Bμ 0 π I 2 I 2 l
- Cμ 0 2 π I 1 I 2 l
- D3 μ 0 2 π I 1 I 2 l
Correct answer
C. μ 0 2 π I 1 I 2 l
Step-by-step solution
B ( x ) = μ 0 2 π ⋅ I 1 x ,    dF = B ( x ) I 2 dx dF = μ 0 2 π ⋅ I 1 I 2 x dx ,    dτ = dF ⋅ x = μ 0 2 π I 1 I 2 dx τ = μ 0 2 π ⋅ I 1 I 2 ∫ l 2 l dx = μ 0 2 π I 1 I 2 l
