The net charge in a current-carrying wire is zero,yet a magnetic field exerts a force on it. This is because a magnetic field exerts a force on:

  • A
    Stationary charge
  • B
    Moving charge
  • C
    $A$ positive charge only
  • D
    $A$ negative charge only

Assertion $(A):$ $A$ wire is bent into an irregular shape with the points $P$ and $Q$ fixed. If a current $I$ is passed through the wire,then the area enclosed by the irregular portion of the wire increases.
Reason $(R):$ Wires carrying currents in opposite directions repel each other.

When current passing through two parallel wires flows in the same direction,the force between them is $......$,while when current passes in opposite directions through the same wires,the force between them is $......$ (attraction,repulsion).

$A$ wire carrying current '$I$' along the $x$-axis has length '$L$' and is kept in a magnetic field $\vec{B} = B(\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - 2\hat{k}) \text{ T}$. The magnitude of the magnetic force acting on the wire is:

$A$ current $I$ flows along the length of a thin-walled,long metallic hollow cylinder of radius $R$,distributed uniformly on its surface. The pressure on the wall will be:

Two long wires carrying currents $I_1$ and $I_2$ are arranged as shown in the figure. The wire carrying current $I_1$ is along the $x$-axis. The other wire carrying current $I_2$ is parallel to the $y$-axis,passing through the point $(0, 0, d)$. Find the magnetic force exerted on a segment of length $dl$ of the second wire at the point $O_2(0, 0, d)$ due to the wire carrying current $I_1$.
