JEE Main 2025 — 3 April, Morning Shift — Question 67

A 4.0 cm long straight wire carrying a current of 8 A is placed perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field of strength 0.15 T . The magnetic force on the wire is \qquad mN .

Answer: 48

Numerical answer — enter this value.

Step-by-step solution

F=i∣BF=i \mid B

=8×4×10−2×0.15 newton =8×4×10−2×0.15×103mN=32×1.5mN=48mN\begin{aligned} & =8 \times 4 \times 10^{-2} \times 0.15 \text { newton } \\ & =8 \times 4 \times 10^{-2} \times 0.15 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{mN} \\ & =32 \times 1.5 \mathrm{mN} \\ & =48 \mathrm{mN} \end{aligned}
