A square loop ABCD carrying a current i is placed near and coplanar with a long straight conductor XY carrying a current I the net force on the loop will be
Multiple Choice Options
- A 3 � 2 _ 0 _ l i L _
- B 2 � _ 0 _ l i L _
- C 3 � 2 _ 0 _ l i _
- D 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 �
