Q.

A straight wire AB of mass 40 g and length 50 cm is suspended by a pair of flexible leads in a 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)                 [2023]


Ans.

For equilibrium Mg=IlB

I=mgB=40×10-3×1050×10-2×0.4=2 A
