Consider the situations below where a uniform magnetic field B0 is directed into the paper. A semi-circular conductor of diameter L, with current 'I' flowing as shown. Calculate the net magnetic force on this conductor (magnitude and direction) by considering force 'dF' on a small section 'dl' and then integrating.

  1. Consider the situations below where a uniform magnetic field B 0 is directed into the paper.
A semi-circular conductor of diameter L, with current 'I' flowing as shown. Calculate the net magnetic force on this conductor (magnitude and direction) by considering force ' d F ' on a small section 'dl' and then integrating.
