A semicircular wire of radius carrying current is placed in a magnetic field as shown in the figure. On right hand side of the magnetic field is outward and on the left hand side it is inward as shown. The magnetic force experience by the wire is




Important Questions on Moving Charges and Magnetism
The magnetic field at the centre of dotted circle in the arrangement shown is

The magnetic field at point in the hollow cylindrical wire carrying a current shown in the figure at a distance from axis is given by (Taking current density to be uniform across its cross-section)

A long straight wire is kept along axis. It carries a current in the positive -direction. A proton and an electron are placed at and respectively. The proton is imparted an initial velocity along axis and the electron is imparted an initial velocity along -axis. The magnetic forces experienced by the two particles at the instant are


In the plane of coil a uniform magnetic field exists. Torque on the current carrying coil of radius is

Calculate the torque acting upon the following structure carrying current due to the magnetic field Both the magnetic field and the structure are in the plane of paper as shown.
