QAIPM-2011-Ph-1832: NEET 2011 Physics - Class 12 AIPM-2011-Ph-1832 Solution: A square loop carrying a steady current I is placed in a…

A square loop carrying a steady current I is placed in a horizontal plane near a long straight conductor carrying a steady current I1I_1 at a distance d from the conductor as shown in figure. The loop will experience a net attractive force towards the conductor 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 horizontal plane

  • B 1.9 eV
  • C 11.1 eV
  • D 13.6 eV

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

E n = _ 13.6 n 2 _ E 1 = �13.6 eV E 2 = �3.4 eV E 3 = �1.5 eV E 4 = �0.85 eV _ E 3 � E 2 = �1.5 � (�3.4) = 1.9 eV E 4 � E 3 = �0.85 � (�1.5) = 0.65 eV Obviously, difference of 11.1 eV is not possible.
