    A straight wire of mass 200 g and length 1.5 m carries a current of 2 A. It is suspended in mid air by a uniform horizontal magnetic field B. The magnitude of B (in tesla) is

    A)  0.65    

    B)  0.55    

    C)  0.75    

    D)  0.45

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Given, mass of the wire = 200 g = 02 kg Length of the wire = 1.5 m                 Current i = 2 A Magnitic field B = ? The force acting on the current carrying wire in uniform magnetic field                                 \[F=Bil\sin \theta \]                                 \[F=Bil\] \[(\because \,\theta ={{90}^{o}})\] Weight of the wire \[w=mg=0.2\times 9.8N\] In the position of suspension                                 \[Bil=mg\] \[B=\frac{mg}{il}=\frac{0.2\times 9.8}{2\times 1.5}=0.65\,T\]
