A regular tetrahedron frame is made up of homogeneous resitance wire of uniform cross section. Current I enters vertex A through a long, straight wire directed towards the centre O of the tetrahedron and is conducted away through vertex B in the same way, as illustrated in the figure. Choose CORRECT statement (s)

A

There is no current through wire DC because point D cand C are equipotential

B

Current through wire AB is `I//2`

C

Current through wire AC is `I//4`

D

Net magnetic field at point O is zero

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C, D

From symmetry `I_(CD)=0`
`I_(AB)=I//2` and `I_(AC)=I_(CB)=I_(AD)=I_(DB)=I//2` and net field at centre is zero

A long straight wire of negligible resistance is bent into V shape, its two arms making an angle alpha with each other and placed horizotally in a vertical, homogeneous field B. A rod of total mass m, and resistance r per unit length, is placed on V shaped conductor, at a distance x_(0) from its vertex A, and perpendicular to the bisector of angle alpha (see fegure) The rod is started off with an initial veloctiy v_(0) in the direction of bisector and away from vertex A. The rod is long enough not to fall off the wire during the subsquent motion, and the electrical contact between the two is good although friction between them is negligible.

In the shown diagram, all the wires are made up of same material, lenth of all section is same. But area of cross section of AD and DC is double that of AB and BC. Find magnetic field at point 'O' due to the square. The current through AB and BC is I:-

A straight horizontal conducting rod of length 0.45 m and mass 60 g is suspended by two vertical wires at its ends. A current of 5.0 A is set up in the rod through the wires. (a) What magnetic field should be set up normal to the conductor in order that the tension in the wires is zero? (b) What will be the total tension in the wires if the direction of current is reversed keeping the magnetic field same as before? (Ignore the mass of the wires.) g = 9.8 m s^(-2) .
