A semi circular current carrying wire having radius `R` is placed in `x-y` plane with its centre at origin `O` There is non-unifrom magnetic field
`oversetrarrB = (B_(0)x)/(2R) hatk` (here `B_(0)` is +ve contant) is existing in the region The magnetic force acting on semi circular wire will be along
.

A

negative x-axis

B

positive x-axis

C

negative y-axis

D

positive y-axis

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The direction of forces on the two elements taken symmetrical on two sides of the y-axis are shown. Clearly the net force will be on negative x-axis.
