Magnetic Effects Of Current Question 217

Question: An arbitrary shaped closed coil is made of a wire of length L and a current I ampere is flowing in it. If the plane of the coil is perpendicular to magnetic field $ \overset{\to }{\mathop{B}}, $ , the force on the coil is [MP PMT 2001]

Options:

A) Zero

B) IBL

C) 2IBL

D) $ \frac{1}{2}IBL $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

As shown in figure, since $ \overrightarrow{L}=0 $ Hence according to $ \vec{F}=i(\vec{L}\times \vec{B}) $

Þ $ \vec{F}=0 $
