- C2.75 A
- D1.75 A
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D

$$\begin{aligned} \& \mathrm{m g=i \ell B} \\\\ \& 250 \times 10^{-3} \times 9.8=\mathrm{i} \times 2 \times 0.7 \\\\ \& \mathrm{i}=\frac{0.250 \times 9.8}{2 \times 0.7}=0.250 \times 7 \\\\ \& \mathrm{i}=1.75 \mathrm{~A} \end{aligned} $$
