$A$ rigid square loop of side $a$ carrying current $I_2$ is lying on a horizontal surface near a long wire carrying current $I_1$ in the same plane as shown in the figure. The net force on the loop due to the wire will be:

  • A
    Repulsive and equal to $\frac{\mu_0 I_1 I_2}{2\pi}$
  • B
    Repulsive and equal to $\frac{\mu_0 I_1 I_2}{4\pi}$
  • C
    Zero
  • D
    Attractive and equal to $\frac{\mu_0 I_1 I_2}{3\pi}$

$ABCD$ is a rectangular loop made of uniform wire. If $AD = BC = 2 \text{ cm}$,what is the magnetic force per unit length acting on wire $DC$ due to wire $AB$ if the ammeter reads $20 \text{ A}$? (The lengths of $AB$ and $DC$ are large in comparison with the other two sides).

Two wires $A$ and $B$ are carrying currents $I_1$ and $I_2$ as shown in the figure. The separation between them is $d$. $A$ third wire $C$ carrying a current $I$ is to be kept parallel to them at a distance $x$ from $A$ such that the net force acting on it is zero. The possible values of $x$ are

Two long parallel copper wires carry currents of $5\,A$ each in opposite directions. If the wires are separated by a distance of $0.5\,m$,then the force between the two wires is

$A$ fixed horizontal wire carries a current of $200\, A$. Another wire having a mass per unit length of $10^{-2}\, kg/m$ is placed below the first wire at a distance of $2\, cm$ and parallel to it. How much current must be passed through the second wire if it floats in air without any support? What should be the direction of current in it?

$A$ metallic rod of mass per unit length $0.5 \,kg \,m^{-1}$ is lying horizontally on a smooth inclined plane which makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. $A$ magnetic field of strength $0.25 \,T$ is acting on it in the vertical direction. When a current $I$ is flowing through it, the rod is not allowed to slide down. The quantity of current required to keep the rod stationary is (in $\,A$)
