Physics-Magnetic Force on Current

NEET Physics Magnetic Force on Current MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Easy-Class 12

A straight rod of length 0.5 m carrying a current of 4 A is placed in a uniform magnetic field of 0.2 T. If the magnetic field is perpendicular to the rod, what is the magnitude of the magnetic force on the rod?

A

0.4 N

B

0.2 N

C

0.5 N

D

0.1 N

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The magnetic force on a current-carrying conductor is given by F = I × l × B. Here, I = 4 A, l = 0.5 m, B = 0.2 T. Thus, F = 4 × 0.5 × 0.2 = 0.4 N.
