Magnetic Effects Of Current Question 248

Question: A loop of flexible conducting wire of length $ l $ lies in magnetic field B which is normal to the plane of loop. A current is passed through the loop. The tension I developed in the wire to open up is

Options:

A) $ \frac{\pi }{2}BIl $

B) $ \frac{BIl}{2} $

C) $ \frac{BIl}{2\pi } $

D) $ BIl $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] $ BI,(dl)=2T\sin (d\theta /2) $
$ \Rightarrow BI(rd\theta )=2T(d\theta \text{/}2) $ ( $ \theta $ is small, $ (\sin \theta =\theta ) $
$ \Rightarrow T=BIr=BIl/2\pi $
