JEE Advanced | 2015Magnetic field due to currentHard

Question

A conductor (shown in the figure) carrying constant current I is kept in the x-y plane in a unfirom magnetic field . If F is the magnitude of the total magnetic force acting on the conductor, then the correct statement(s) is (are)
                            

Options

A.If is along , F ∝ (L + R)
B.If is along , F = 0
C.If is along , F ∝ (L + R)
D.If is along , F = 0

Solution


as magnetic field is uniform
= I (2L + 2R)
When B is along y or z axis
F ∝ (L + R)
When B is along x-axis
F = 0
∴ (A,B,C)
