An infinitely long, straight conductor AB is fixed and a current is passed through it. Another movable straight wire CD of finite length and carrying current is held perpendicular to it and released. Neglect weight of the wire
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Since the force on the rod CD is non-uniform it will experience force and torque. From the left hand side it can be seen that the force will be upward and torque is clockwise.
