$A$ square coil $ABCD$ of side $L$ is carrying a current $I_1$ in the clockwise direction. $A$ straight conductor carrying current $I_2$ (upward direction) is kept parallel to side $AB$ at a distance $\frac{L}{3}$ in the plane of $ABCD$. The net force on the coil $ABCD$ is ($\mu_0 =$ magnetic permeability).

$A$ current loop $ABCD$ is held fixed on the plane of the paper as shown in the figure. The arcs $BC$ (radius $= b$) and $DA$ (radius $= a$) of the loop are joined by two straight wires $AB$ and $CD$. $A$ steady current $I$ is flowing in the loop. The angle made by $AB$ and $CD$ at the origin $O$ is $30^o$. Another straight thin wire with a steady current $I_1$ flowing out of the plane of the paper is kept at the origin. Due to the presence of the current $I_1$ at the origin:

Two long and parallel straight wires $A$ and $B$ carrying currents of $8.0 \, A$ and $5.0 \, A$ in the same direction are separated by a distance of $4.0 \, cm$. Estimate the force on a $10 \, cm$ section of wire $A$.

$A$ current of $10 \text{ A}$ flows through a horizontal straight wire $A$ with both ends rigidly fixed. Wire $B$ is placed directly above and parallel to $A$. The weight per unit length of wire $B$ is $40 \times 10^{-3} \text{ N/m}$ and it carries a current of $20 \text{ A}$. Find the distance of wire $B$ from wire $A$ so that wire $B$ remains at rest. Also,state the direction of current flowing through it.
