A conducting rod of length / and mass m is moving down a smooth inclined plane of inclination θ with constant velocity v. A current i is flowing in the conductor in a direction perpendicular to paper inwards. A vertically upward magnetic field B exists in space. Then, magnitude of magnetic field B is

a
mg il sinθ
b
mgiltanθ
c
mgcosθil
d
mgilsinθ

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Magnetic force acts in the direction shown in figureRod will move downward with constant velocity if net force on it is zero. or   Fmcosθ=mgsinθ  or   ilBcosθ=mgsinθ ∴  B=mgiltanθ

Two horizontal parallel straight conductors, each 20 cm long, are arranged one vertically above the other and carry equal currents in opposite directions. The lower conductor is fixed while the other is free to move in guides remaining parallel to the lower. If the upper conductor weighs 1.0 g, what is the approximate current (in A) that will maintain the conductors at a distance 0.50 cm apart?
