NEETPhysicsMagnetic Effects of Current
Which statement verifies whether magnetic forces obey Newton's third law for two current elements dl1 located at the origin and dl2 located at (0, R, 0), both carrying current I?
Options
- AThe force due to dl1 on dl2 is zero.
- BThe force due to dl2 on dl1 is zero.
- CThe forces between dl1 and dl2 are equal and opposite.
- DThe force on both dl1 and dl2 is zero.
Correct answer
B. The force due to dl2 on dl1 is zero.
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (B) The force due to dl2 on dl1 is zero.
