Questions  

A long wire AB is placed on a table. Another wire PQ of mass 1.0 g and length 50 cm is set to slide on two rails PS and QR. A current of 50A is passed through the wires. At what distance above AB, will the wire PQ be in equilibrium

a
25 mm
b
50 mm
c
75 mm
d
100 mm

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Suppose in equilibrium wire PQ lies at a distance r above the wire ABHence in equilibrium   ⇒10-3×10=10-7×2×502r×0.5r = 25 mm
