$A$ long straight wire is carrying current $I_1$ in the $+z$ direction. The $x-y$ plane contains a closed circular loop carrying current $I_2$ and does not encircle the straight wire. The net force on the loop will be:

  • A
    ${\mu _0}{I_1}{I_2}/2\pi$
  • B
    ${\mu _0}{I_1}{I_2}/4\pi$
  • C
    $0$
  • D
    Depends on the distance of the centre of the loop from the wire.

An infinitely long,straight conductor $AB$ is fixed and a current $i_1$ is passed through it. Another movable straight wire $CD$ of finite length carrying current $i_2$ is held perpendicular to it and released. Neglect the weight of the wire.

An infinitely long current-carrying wire and a small current-carrying loop are in the plane of the paper as shown. The radius of the loop is $a$ and the distance of its centre from the wire is $d$ $(d >> a)$. If the loop applies a force $F$ on the wire,then:

$A$ current of $10 \ A$ flows through two long parallel wires. The magnetic force per unit length on each wire is $2 \times 10^{-3} \ N/m$. If their currents are doubled and the separation between them is halved,then the magnetic force per unit length of each wire becomes $...... \times 10^{-3} \ N/m$.
