A square loop is lying near a long wire in the same plane. The directions of current in the loop and the wire are as shown in figure. Net force on the loop due to this wire is:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Force on the two sides of the loop which are parallel to the wire cancel out.
On the two sides which are parallel to the wire attractive force on the closer side is more than repulsine force on the further side. So, net force is attractive.
