$A$ thin uniform rod with negligible mass and length $l$ is attached to the floor by a frictionless hinge at point $P$. $A$ horizontal spring with force constant $k$ connects the other end to a wall. The rod is in a uniform magnetic field $B$ directed into the plane of the paper. What is the extension in the spring in equilibrium when a current $i$ is passed through the rod in the direction shown? Assume the spring is initially at its natural length.

  • A
    $\frac{5ilB}{8k}$
  • B
    $\frac{3ilB}{8k}$
  • C
    $\frac{5ilB}{4k}$
  • D
    $\frac{5ilB}{6k}$

$A$ straight horizontal conducting rod of length $L$ and mass $M$ is suspended by two vertical wires at its ends. If $I$ is the current passing through the rod,then in order that the tension in the wires is zero,the magnetic field set up normal to the conductor is (Neglect the mass of the wire,$g$ = acceleration due to gravity).

What is the magnitude of magnetic force per unit length (in $N \;m^{-1}$) on a wire carrying a current of $8 \;A$ and making an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the direction of a uniform magnetic field of $0.15 \;T$?

The force exerted by a magnetic field on a wire having length $L$ and current $I$ is perpendicular to the wire and given as $|F| = IL|B|$. An experimental plot shows $|F|$ as a function of $L$. The plot is a straight line with a slope $S = (10 \pm 1) \times 10^{-5} \ T$. The current in the wire is $I = (15 \pm 1) \ mA$. The percentage error in $B$ is:
