$A$ conducting wire bent in the form of a parabola $y^2=2x$ carries a current of $4 \ A$ as shown in the figure. This wire is placed in a uniform magnetic field of induction $\vec{B}=+6 \hat{k} \ T$. The magnetic force on the wire is

$A$ vertical wire carrying a current in the upward direction is placed in a horizontal magnetic field directed towards the north. The wire will experience a force directed towards:

The circuit in the figure consists of wires at the top and bottom and identical springs as the left and right sides. The wire at the bottom has a mass of $10 \, g$ and is $5 \, cm$ long. The wire is hanging as shown in the figure. The springs stretch $0.5 \, cm$ under the weight of the wire and the circuit has a total resistance of $12 \, \Omega$. When the lower wire is subjected to a static magnetic field,the springs stretch an additional $0.3 \, cm$. The magnetic field is

$A$ wire of length $L$ carries a current $I$ along the $X$-axis. The magnetic force acting on the wire is given by $\vec{F} = I B_0 L(\hat{k} - \hat{j})$. The existing magnetic field $\vec{B}$ is
