WBJEE · Physics · Magnetic Effects of Current

A straight wire of length \(2 \mathrm{m}\) carries a current of \(10 \mathrm{A}\). If this wire is placed in a uniform magnetic field of 0.15 T making an angle of \(45^{\circ}\) with the magnetic field, the applied force on the wire will be

  1. A \(1.5 \mathrm{N}\)
  2. B \(3 \mathrm{N}\)
  3. C \(3 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{N}\)
  4. D \(\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}} \mathrm{N}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}} \mathrm{N}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given \(i=10 \mathrm{A}, B=0.15 \mathrm{T}, \theta=45^{\circ}\) and \(l=2 \mathrm{m}\) Here, \[ \begin{aligned} F &=i L B \sin \theta \\ &=10 \times 2 \times 0.15 ~ x ~ \sin 45^{\circ} \\ &=\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}} \mathrm{N} \end{aligned} \]
