A loop of flexible wire or irregular shape carrying current is placed in an external magnetic field. Identify the effect of the field on the wire .
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
When a current carrying conductor is placed in external magnetic field, it will experience a force in the direction of 
on each small wire segment, force will be radially, outward, so wire will take the shape of circle with its plane normal to the field.
