A conducting circular loop of radius carries a constant current It is placed in a uniform magnetic field \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}_{0} such that \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}_{0} is perpendicular to the plane of the loop. The magnetic force acting on the loop is

Options
- A
- B
- Czero
- D ir
Correct answer
C. zero
Step-by-step solution
The magnetic field is perpendicular to the plane of the paper. Let us consider two diametrically opposite elements. By Fleming's Left hand rule on element the direction of force will be Leftwards and the magnitude will be
