MHT CET · Physics · Magnetic Effects of Current

A straight wire of length \(0 \cdot 5 \mathrm{~m}\) and carrying current of \(1 \cdot 2 \mathrm{~A}\) is placed in a uniform magnetic field of induction \(2 \mathrm{~T}\). The magnetic field is perpendicular to the length of the wire. What is the force acting on the wire? \(\left[\sin 90^{\circ}=1\right]\)

  1. A \(2 \cdot 0 \mathrm{~N}\)
  2. B \(2 \cdot 4 \mathrm{~N}\)
  3. C \(1 \cdot 2 \mathrm{~N}\)
  4. D \(3 \cdot 0 \mathrm{~N}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(1 \cdot 2 \mathrm{~N}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( F = BIL \sin \theta \) \( F = (2 \mathrm{~T})(1.2 \mathrm{~A})(0.5 \mathrm{~m}) \sin 90^{\circ} \)
