Question: The magnetic force acting on the rod ABC in the presence of external magnetic field as shown in the figure is

Options:

A) $ BI\ell $

B) $ 2BI\ell $

C) $ BI\ell \sqrt{3} $

D) Zero

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a] Force $ =BI\ell $ Here, equivalent length $ \ell ’ $ $ =\sqrt{{{\ell }^{2}}+{{\ell }^{2}}-2\ell .\ell ,\cos ,60^{o}}=\sqrt{2{{\ell }^{2}}-{{\ell }^{2}}}=\ell $
