Question

A long straight wire is carrying current \(I\) in +z direction. The x-y plane contains a closed circular loop carrying current \(I_2\) and not encircling the straight wire. The force on the loop will be

• A. \(\frac {μ_oI_1I_o}{2\pi}\)
• B. \(\frac {μ_oI_1I_o}{4\pi}\)
• C. Zero
• D. depends on the distance of the centre of the loop from the wire

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The correct option is (D): depends on the distance of the centre of the loop from the wire.
