A thin wire of length L is connected to ...

A thin wire of length `L` is connected to two adjacent fixed points and carries a current `I` in the clockwise direction , as shown in the figure. When the system is put in a uniform magnetic field of strength `B` going into the plane of the paper , the wire takes the shape of a circle . The tension in the wire is

A

`(IBL)`

B

`(IBL)/(p)`

C

`(IBL)/(2pi)`

D

`(IBL)/(4pi)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c
`2Tsin (d theta)/2=BIRd theta`

`Td theta=BIRd theta` (for `theta` small)
`T=BIR =(BIL)/(2pi)`
