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.

  • A
    The rod $CD$ will move upwards parallel to itself.
  • B
    The rod $CD$ will move downward parallel to itself.
  • C
    The rod $CD$ will move upward and turn clockwise at the same time.
  • D
    The rod $CD$ will move upward and turn anti-clockwise at the same time.
