JEE Main & Advanced Physics Magnetic Effects of Current / करंट का चुंबकीय प्रभाव Question Bank Force and Torque on a Current Carrying Conductor

  • question_answer
    The unit of electric current ?ampere? is the current which when flowing through each of two parallel wires spaced 1 m apart in vacuum and of infinite length will give rise to a force between them equal to [BIT 1987; CBSE PMT1998; MP PET 1999; MP PMT 2002]

    A)            \[1\,N/m\]                            

    B)            \[2\times {{10}^{-7}}\,N/m\]

    C)            \[1\times {{10}^{-2}}\,N/m\]

    D)            \[4\pi \times {{10}^{-7}}\,N/m\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                       Force per unit length on two parallel current carrying conductor is given by \[\frac{F}{l}={{10}^{-7}}\times 2\frac{{{i}_{1}}{{i}_{2}}}{a}\]            Þ \[\frac{F}{l}={{10}^{-7}}\times 2\times \frac{1\times 1}{1}=2\times {{10}^{-7}}\,N/m\]
