Question:

A wire carrying current I, bent as shown in the figure, is placed in a uniform field B that emerges normally out from the plane of the figure. The force on this wire is ________.

Fill in the blank with the correct answer from the options given below.

Options:

4 BIR, directed vertically downward

3 BIR, directed vertically upward

$BI(2R+\pi R)$, vertically downward

$2 \pi BIR$, from P to Q

Correct Answer:

4 BIR, directed vertically downward

Explanation:

Force will depends on the displacement of end points i. e L = 4R

$\Rightarrow F= 4IRB , Downward$

The correct answer is Option (1) → 4 BIR, directed vertically downward
