A metal ring of radius $r = 0.5 \,\,m $ with its plane normal to a uniform magnetic field $B$ of induction $0.2 T$ carries a current $I = 100\,\, A$. The tension in newtons developed in the ring is:

$\mathrm{F}=\mathrm{I} \int \mathrm{d} \vec{\ell} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}$

$=\mathrm{I}(2 r \hat{\mathrm{i}}) \times(-0.2 \hat{\mathrm{k}})=20 \mathrm{j}$

Magnetic force is in $+ve$ $y$ direction

So balancing force on semi-circular ring we get

$2 T=20$

$T=10 N$
