Consider a wire carrying a steady current,

i

placed in a uniform magnetic field

{B}

perpendicular to its length. Consider the charges inside the wire. It is known that magnetic forces do no work. This implies that,

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

Some charges inside the wire move to the surface as a result of

{B}

Option B (Some charges inside the wire move to the surface as a result of

{B}

) is correct because the magnetic force on the moving charges inside the wire causes them to accumulate on the surface, creating a potential difference but doing no net work.

Which of the following statements is not true A current loop in a magnetic field Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): When currents vary with time, Newton’s third law is valid only if momentum carried by the electromagnetic field is taken into account.
Statement (II): Ampere's circuital law does not depend on Biot-Savart’s law.
