QAIPM-2011-Ph-1833: NEET 2011 Physics - Class 12 AIPM-2011-Ph-1833 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

Multiple Choice Options

  • A a net attractive force towards the conductor
  • B a net repulsive force away from the conductor
  • C a net torque acting upward perpendicular to the horizontal plane
  • D a net torque acting downward normal to horizontal plane

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

F 1 > F 2 as F _ 1 d , and F 3 and F 4 are equal and opposite. Hence, the net attraction force will be towards the conductor.
