AIIMS 2017 Physics Work Done by a Variable Force MCQ Question
A conductor lies along the x-axis at carries a fixed current of in direction as shown in the figure for the field , the total power required to move the conductor at constant speed to in is (Assume parallel motion along the x-axis)

1.57 W
2.97 W
4.45 W
9.87 W
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Option B, , is correct as it represents the work done in a system where signifies a specific force or energy density relevant to the context of the problem. The other options are incorrect because option A lacks the specific context of , while options C and D introduce unnecessary constants and exponential functions that do not align with the standard definition of work done in a physical system. Understanding the integral formulation for work, , is crucial for applying it correctly in various scenarios, including those involving variable forces or energy densities.
