An elastic circular wire of length \( l \) carries a current \( I \). It is placed in a uniform magnetic field \( \vec{B} \) (Out of paper) such that its plane is perpendicular to the direction of \( \vec{B} \). The wire will experience A. No force B. A stretching force C. A compressive force D. A torque |

Answer» Correct option is (B) A stretching force We know that, Magnetic force F = idl x B, the magnetic force acts radially outwards. Now if you sum up the effects on all the infinitesimal segments evidently it tries to stretch the wire. |
