A wire ABCD is bent in the form shown here in the figure. Segments AB and CD are of length 1m each while the semicircular loop is of radius 1m. A current of 5A flows from A towards the end D and the whole wire is placed in a magnetic field of 0.5 T direction out of the page. The force acting on the wire is .

Answer»

40 N
5 N
10 N
20 N

Solution :Net force ACTING on WIRE is,
`|VEC(F)|= |vec(F)_(AB)| + |vec(F)_(BC)|+ |vec(F)_(CA)|`
or `F = Bi xx 1 + Bi xx 2 + Bi xx 1`
or `F= 4 Bi = 4 xx 0.5 xx 5= 10N`
