A conductor in the form of a right angle...

A conductor in the form of a right angle `ABC` with `AB=3 cm` and `BC = 4 cm` carries a current of `10 A`.There is a uniform magnetic field of `5 T` perpendicular to the palne of the conductor. The force on the conductor will be

A

`1.5N`

B

`2.0N`

C

`2.5N`

D

`3.5N`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
According to the question figure can be drawn as shown below.

Force on the conductor `ABC` = Force on the conductor `AC`
`=5xx10xx(5xx10^(-2))=2.5N`
