Question
A long vertical wire in which a current is flowing produces a neutral point with the earth's magnetic field at a distance of $5\, cm$ from the wire. If the horizontal component of the earth's magnetic induction is $0.18\, gauss$, then the curent in the wire is......$A$

Answer

$B = \frac{{{\mu _0}I}}{{2\pi R}} = {B_H}$

Imagine a world where free magnetic charges exist. In this world, a circuit is made with a $U$-shape wire and a rod free to slide on it. A current carried by free magnetic charges can flow in the circuit. When the circuit is placed in a uniform electric field $E$ perpendicular to the plane of the circuit and the rod is pulled to the right with a constant speed $v$, the magnetic emf in the current and the direction of the corresponding current, arising because of changing electric flux will be ( $l$ is the length of the rod and $c$ is speed of light)
