Moving Charges And Magnetism Ques 54
54. A metallic rod of mass per unit length $0.5$ $ kg$ $m^{-1}$ is lying horizontally on a smooth inclined plane which makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The rod is not allowed to slide down by flowing a current through it when a magnetic field of induction $0.25$ $ T$ is acting on it in the vertical direction. The current flowing in the rod to keep it stationary is

(a) $7.14 $ $A$
(b) $5.98 $ $A$
(c) $11.32 $ $A$
(d) $14.76 $ $A$
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 54.(c)
Solution:
- (c) From figure, for equilibrium,
$ mg$ $ \sin $ $ 30^{\circ}=I / B \cos 30^{\circ} $
$ \Rightarrow \quad I=\frac{m g}{\ell B} \tan 30^{\circ} $
$ = \quad \frac{0.5 \times 9.8}{0.25 \times \sqrt{3}}=11.32 $ $A $
