The horizontal component of earth's magnetic field at a place is \(3.5 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~T}\). A very long straight conductor carrying current of \(\sqrt{2} A\) in the direction from South east to North West is placed. The force per unit length experienced by the conductor is _______ \(\times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}\).

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(35\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( B_H=3.5 \times 10^{-5} T \)

\( F=i \ell B \sin \theta, \quad \mathrm{i}=\sqrt{2} A \)

\( \frac{F}{\ell}=i B \sin \theta=\sqrt{2} \times 3.5 \times 10^{-5} \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \)

\( =35 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}\)
