Q.

The magnetic field existing in a region is given by B=0.2(1+2x)k^T. A square loop of edge 50 cm carrying 0.5 A current is placed in the x – y plane with its edges parallel to the x – y axes, as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the net magnetic force experienced by the loop is ______ mN.                 [2024]


Ans.

(50)

F=i(×B)

F3 and F4 will cancel each other.

F1=-0.5×50100×{0.2(1+4)}i^

=-12×12×1i^=-14i^=-0.25i^

F2=0.5×50100×{0.2(1+5)}i^=12×12×{1.2}i^=0.3i^

Fnet=0.05i^(N)=50 (mN)i^
