  • B μ0liL2π{{{\mu _0}liL} \over {2\pi }} 2 � _ 0 _ l i L _
  • C 2μ0li3π{{2{\mu _0}li} \over {3\pi }} 3 � 2 _ 0 _ l i _
  • D μ0li2π{{{\mu _0}li} \over {2\pi }} 2 � _ 0 _ l i _

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Force on arm AB due to current in conductor XY is F 1 = _ 0 4 � 2 I i L ( L / 2 ) = _ 0 I i � acting towards XY in the plane of loop. Force on arm CD due to current in conductor XY is F 2 = _ 0 4 � 2 I i L 3 ( L / 2 ) = _ 0 I i 3 � acting away from XY in the plane of loop. _ Net force on the loop = F 1 � F 2 = _ 0 I i 3 � [ 1 _ 1 3 ] = 2 3 _ 0 I i �
