NEET2011PhysicsMagnetic Effects of CurrentActual
A square loop, carrying a steady current I , is placed in a horizontal plane near a long straight conductor carrying a steady current I₁ at a distance d from the conductor as shown in figure. The loop will experience
Options
- Aa net repulsive force away from the conductor
- Ba net torque acting upward perpendicular to the horizontal plane
- Ca net torque acting downward normal to the horizontal plane
- Da net attractive force towards the conductor
Correct answer
D. a net attractive force towards the conductor
Step-by-step solution
aligned & F ₂=- F ₄ & F ₁= ₀ I₁ I l 2 d & F ₂= ₀ I₁ I l 2 (d+l) & F ₁> F ₃ & F_ net =F₁-F₃ aligned So, wire atrract loop.
