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

  • question_answer
    Three long, straight and parallel wires carrying currents are arranged as shown in figure. The force experienced by 10 cm length of wire Q is                                               [MP PET 1997]

    A)            \[1.4\times {{10}^{-4}}N\] towards the right

    B)            \[1.4\times {{10}^{-4}}N\] towards the left

    C)            \[2.6\times {{10}^{-4}}N\] to the right

    D)            \[2.6\times {{10}^{-4}}N\] to the left

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                       Force on wire Q due to wire P is                    \[{{F}_{P}}={{10}^{-7}}\times \frac{2\times 30\times 10}{0.1}\times 0.1\]\[=6\times {{10}^{-5}}N\](Towards left)                    Force on wire Q due to wire R is                    \[{{F}_{R}}={{10}^{-7}}\times \frac{2\times 20\times 10}{0.02}\times 0.1=20\times {{10}^{-5}}N\]                    (Towards right)            Hence \[{{F}_{net}}={{F}_{R}}-{{F}_{P}}=14\times {{10}^{-5}}N=1.4\times {{10}^{-4}}N\] (Towards right)
