Options
- A
- B
- Czero
- Ddepends on the distance of the centre of the loop from the wire
Correct answer
D. depends on the distance of the centre of the loop from the wire
Step-by-step solution
Situation is shown in the figure given below
Thus, the force depends on the distance of the centre of the loop from the wire.
