WBJEE · Physics · Magnetic Effects of Current

A horizontal semi-circular wire of radius \(\mathrm{r}\) is connected to a battery through two similar springs \(\mathrm{X}\) and \(\mathrm{Y}\) to an electric cell, which sends current I through it. A vertically downward uniform magnetic field B is applied on the wire, as shown in the figure. What is the force acting on each spring?

  1. A \(2 \pi \mathrm{rBI}\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{2} \pi \mathrm{rBI}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{BIr}\)
  4. D \(2 \mathrm{BIr}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{BIr}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(F_B=i \times 2 r \times B\) \(2 F=F_B\) \(F=i r B\)
