Astraight horizontal conducting rod of length 0.45 m and mass 60 g issuspended by two vertical wires at its ends. A current of 5.0 A isset up in the rod through the wires.(a) What magnetic field should be set up normal to the conductor inorder that the tension in the wires is zero? (b) What will be the total tension in the wires if the direction ofcurrent is reversed keeping the magnetic field same as before?(Ignore the mass of the wires.) g = 9.8 m s−2.

A
straight horizontal conducting rod of length 0.45 m and mass 60 g is
suspended by two vertical wires at its ends. A current of 5.0 A is
set up in the rod through the wires.



(a)
What magnetic field should be set up normal to the conductor in
order that the tension in the wires is zero?



(b)
What will be the total tension in the wires if the direction of
current is reversed keeping the magnetic field same as before?
(Ignore the mass of the wires.) g = 9.8 m s−2.
