JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 4. Moving charges and magnetism

A rigid wire consists of a semicircular portion of radius \(R\) and two straight sections. The wire is partially immerged in a perpendicular magnetic field \(B=B_0\ {j}\) as shown in figure. The magnetic force on the wire if it has a current \(i\) is _______.

  1. A \(-\mathrm{iBR} \hat{\mathrm{j}}\)
  2. B \(2 \mathrm{iBR} \hat{\mathrm{j}}\)
  3. C \(i B R \hat{j}\)
  4. D \(-2 i B R \hat{j}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(-2 i B R \hat{j}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Note : Direction of magnetic field is in \(+\hat{k}\) \(\vec{F}=i \vec{\ell} \times \vec{B}\) \(\ell=2 \mathrm{R}\) \(\vec{F}=-2 i R B \hat{j}\)
