NEET UG PHYSICS MCQ: MAGNETIC EFFECT OF CURRENT

1 Medium

1 of 1

Application +4 | -1

Two long parallel wires A and B separated by a distance of 15 cm are stretched rigidly and carry the currents of 2A and 3A respectively. The position of another conductor c carrying a current of 4A in the same direction, so that it is in equilibrium.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

6 Cm

Option B (6 Cm) is correct because the conductor must be placed such that the forces from the other two wires balance out.

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.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below: The magnetic field due to current carrying a circular loop of radius
