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

A straight wire \(AB\) of mass \(40\,g\) and length \(50\,cm\) is suspended by a pair of flexible leads in uniform magnetic field of magnitude \(0.40\,T\) as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the current required in the wire to remove the tension in the supporting leads is ...........\(A\). (Take \(g=10\,ms ^{-2}\) ).

  1. A \(4\)
  2. B \(2\)
  3. C \(6\)
  4. D \(8\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For equilibrium \(Mg = I \ell B\) \(I =\frac{ mg }{\ell B }=\frac{40 \times 10^{-3} \times 10}{50 \times 10^{-2} \times 0.4}=2\,A\)
