Question

A square loop, carrying a steady current I , is placed in a horizontal plane near a long straight conductor carrying a steady current I 1 at a distance d from the conductor as shown in figure. The loop will experience, A net repulsive force away from the conductor, A net torque acting upward perpendicular to the horizontal plane, A net torque acting downward normal to the horizontal plane, A net attractive force toward the conductor

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

F 1 > F 2 as F ∝ 1 d , and F 3 and F 4 are equal and opposite. Hence, the net attraction force will be towards the conductor.
