Solution

The correct option is D $6.5 \times 10^{-} 5 N$
At $45^{o}, B_{H} = B_{V}$

$\frac{F l}{2} = M B_{V} = m \times l \times B_{V}$

$F = \frac{2 m l B_{V}}{l} = 3.6 \times 18 \times 10^{- 6}$

$F = 6.5 \times 10^{- 5} N$

The correct option is D 6.5×10−5NAt 45o,BH=BVFl2=MBV=m×l×BVF=2mlBVl=3.6×18×10−6F=6.5×10−5N

The correct option is D $6.5 \times 10^{-} 5 N$
At $45^{o}, B_{H} = B_{V}$

$\frac{F l}{2} = M B_{V} = m \times l \times B_{V}$

$F = \frac{2 m l B_{V}}{l} = 3.6 \times 18 \times 10^{- 6}$

$F = 6.5 \times 10^{- 5} N$
