A metal ring is placed in a magnetic field, with its plane `_|_` to the field. If the magnitude of the field begins to change, the ring will experience

A

a net force

B

a torque about it axis

C

a torque about a diameter

D

a tension along its length

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
When the field changes, a current flow along the ring, each section of the ring now experience an ampere force acting either outward or inward. The ring will tend to expand or contract, and hence experience a tension along its length.

A ring of radius r_0 = 20 cm made of a very thin wire cariries a current of I= 10 A. The tensile strength of the wire is equal to T_s = 1.5 N. The ring is placed in a magnetic field, which is perpendicular to the plane of the ring so that the forces tend to break the ring. The required magnetic field to break the ring would be --------- T.
