Figure shows an equilateral triangle ABC of side l carrying currents as shown, and placed in a uniform magnetic field B perpendicular to the plane of triangle. The magnitude of magnetic force on triangle is

a
i l B
b
2i l B
c
3i l B
d
zero

detailed solution

Correct option is A

The equivalent figure can be redrawn as shown.Force on AB = ilB,Force on BCA = 2ilB in oppositedirection to that on BA.Hence net force =2i l B− ilB=ilB
