The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to calculate the magnetic force acting on a circular wire loop placed in a magnetic field. The loop carries a current in a specific direction, and we will use the relevant formulas to find the required value of \( n \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Setup**: - We have a circular wire loop of radius \( R \) centered at the origin in the X-Y plane. - The current \( I \) flows in a clockwise direction when viewed from the positive Z-axis. - A uniform magnetic field \( \vec{B} = B_0 \left( \hat{i} + \sqrt{3} \hat{j} \right)/2 \) exists in the region \( x > (R \sqrt{3})/2 \). 2. **Determine the Direction of the Magnetic Field**: - The magnetic field can be expressed in terms of its components: \( B_x = \frac{B_0}{2} \) and \( B_y = \frac{B_0 \sqrt{3}}{2} \). - The angle of the magnetic field with respect to the X-axis can be calculated using \( \tan \theta = \frac{B_y}{B_x} = \sqrt{3} \), which gives \( \theta = 60^\circ \). 3. **Calculate the Length Vector**: - The length vector \( \vec{L} \) for the loop can be expressed as \( \vec{L} = -R \hat{j} \) since the current is flowing clockwise. 4. **Using the Force Formula**: - The magnetic force \( \vec{F} \) on the loop can be calculated using the formula: \[ \vec{F} = I \vec{L} \times \vec{B} \] - Substituting the values, we have: \[ \vec{F} = I (-R \hat{j}) \times \left( \frac{B_0}{2} \hat{i} + \frac{B_0 \sqrt{3}}{2} \hat{j} \right) \] 5. **Calculating the Cross Product**: - The cross product can be computed as follows: \[ \vec{F} = I (-R) \left( \hat{j} \times \left( \frac{B_0}{2} \hat{i} + \frac{B_0 \sqrt{3}}{2} \hat{j} \right) \right) \] - This simplifies to: \[ \vec{F} = I (-R) \left( \frac{B_0}{2} (\hat{j} \times \hat{i}) + \frac{B_0 \sqrt{3}}{2} (\hat{j} \times \hat{j}) \right) \] - Since \( \hat{j} \times \hat{j} = 0 \) and \( \hat{j} \times \hat{i} = -\hat{k} \): \[ \vec{F} = I (-R) \left( \frac{B_0}{2} (-\hat{k}) \right) = \frac{I R B_0}{2} \hat{k} \] 6. **Magnitude of the Force**: - The magnitude of the force is: \[ |\vec{F}| = \frac{I R B_0}{2} \] 7. **Relating to Given Expression**: - We know from the problem statement that the magnitude of the magnetic force is given by: \[ |\vec{F}| = \frac{B_0 I R}{n} \] - Equating the two expressions: \[ \frac{I R B_0}{2} = \frac{B_0 I R}{n} \] - From this, we can deduce that: \[ n = 2 \] ### Final Answer: The value of \( n \) is \( 2 \).
