Question

A bent wire PQ carrying a current I is placed in a region of uniform magnetic field $\to B$ having magnitude B . The force on the wire PQ is $n \times B I L$ .The value of n is

Open in App

Solution

$\to F = I (\to l \times \to B)$

Here $\to l$ is directed from end P to end Q of the wire if the current is directed from Q to P

Here $| \to l | = \frac{L}{2}$ and $θ = 90^{\circ} \Rightarrow F = I \times \frac{L}{2} \times B = \frac{BIL}{2}$
$\Rightarrow n = 0.5$

A bent wire PQ carrying a current I is placed in a region of uniform magnetic field $\to B$ having magnitude B . The force on the wire PQ is $n \times B I L$ .The value of n is

$\to F = I (\to l \times \to B)$

Here $\to l$ is directed from end P to end Q of the wire if the current is directed from Q to P

Here $| \to l | = \frac{L}{2}$ and $θ = 90^{\circ} \Rightarrow F = I \times \frac{L}{2} \times B = \frac{BIL}{2}$
$\Rightarrow n = 0.5$
