Q1easy

A straight conductor of length 0.5m0.5\,\text{m} carries a current of 2A2\,\text{A}. It is placed in a uniform magnetic field of 0.4T0.4\,\text{T}. If the conductor is oriented at an angle of 3030^\circ with respect to the magnetic field, what is the magnitude of the magnetic force experienced by the conductor?

Q2medium

A long straight wire carries a current vertically upwards. A uniform magnetic field is directed horizontally towards the North. What is the direction of the force experienced by the wire?

Q3medium

Two long parallel wires are placed 10cm10\,\text{cm} apart. They carry currents of 5A5\,\text{A} and 10A10\,\text{A} respectively in the same direction. What is the magnitude of the force per unit length between them? (Given μ0=4π×107T\cdotm/A\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7}\,\text{T\cdot m/A})

Q4easy

A conductor of length LL carrying current II is placed in a uniform magnetic field BB. If the force on the conductor is zero, which of the following statements must be true?

Q5medium

A horizontal wire of length 0.1m0.1\,\text{m} carries a current of 10A10\,\text{A} from East to West. It is placed in a uniform magnetic field of 0.1T0.1\,\text{T} acting vertically downwards. What is the magnitude and direction of the force on the wire?

Q6easy

Which of the following statements is INCORRECT regarding the force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field?
