$A$ loop of flexible wire of irregular shape carrying current is placed in an external magnetic field. Identify the effect of the field on the magnetic force acting on the wire.

  • A
    Loop assumes circular shape with its plane normal to the field.
  • B
    Loop assumes circular shape with its plane parallel to the field.
  • C
    Wire gets stretched to become straight.
  • D
    Shape of the loop remains unchanged.
