What is the net force on the square coil?








A copper rod of mass slides under gravity on two smooth parallel rails distance apart and set an angle to the horizontal. At the bottom, the rails are joined by a resistance in figure. There is a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of the rails. The terminal velocity of rod is

The magnitude and direction of a force vector acting on a unit length of thin wire carrying a current at point , if the wire has a semicircular shape of radius as shown in the figure.

(i) Zero
(ii) Maximum

Let and be the magnitude of the force between the two wires in setup and setup , respectively.

and form an equilateral triangle of side lying in the plane of the figure. Through each of the vertices an infinite wire passes perpendicular to this plane. The wire through carries a current of going into the plane while the wires through and carry current coming out of the plane.
The force per unit length on the wire through is



A uniform magnetic field pointing top to bottom in a plane of paper. When an electron is allowed to move perpendicular to it, it gets deflected outwards. The electron must be moving along:
